On: Par: Paragraph reformatter, vaguely similar to fmt...

[jzelinskie]

Vim users can do "set formatprg=par" to use par for formatting ("gq"). Super great for keeping comments <80 chars

[ComputerGuru → jzelinskie]

But doesn’t that overwrite the format algorithm for the filetype altogether? I mean, does it break formatting for the rest of the document (the non-comment)? Or does this somehow play nice with formatlistpat?

[srik → jzelinskie]

par tops out at 72 by default afaik, so if you 80 is your preferred limit, I'd suggest `par -w79`

[azeemba → jzelinskie]

What does it use by default?
