ITEM This is a test of textutils fmt vs. elvis fmt. This is line 1. This is line 2. Lines 2 and onwards are indented under the "This" in line 1. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their linux system. The quick red linux system jumped over the lazy black dos system 1234567890 times. 0 Line 2 of that ITEM entry above was entered as one very long line. I'll copy that ITEM entry down here and use textutils "fmt -70" on it: 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345 ITEM This is a test of textutils fmt vs. elvis fmt.
