# Template::Plugin::Wrap(3pm)

Plugin interface to Text::Wrap

## NAME

Template::Plugin::Wrap - Plugin interface to Text::Wrap

## SYNOPSIS

```
    [% USE wrap %]
    # call wrap subroutine
    [% wrap(mytext, width, initial_tab,  subsequent_tab) %]
    # or use wrap FILTER
    [% mytext FILTER wrap(width, initital_tab, subsequent_tab) %]
```

## DESCRIPTION

This plugin provides an interface to the Text::Wrap module which provides simple paragraph formatting.

It defines a `"wrap"` subroutine which can be called, passing the input text and further optional parameters to specify the page width (default: 72), and tab characters for the first and subsequent lines (no defaults).

```
    [% USE wrap %]
    [% text = BLOCK %]
    First, attach the transmutex multiplier to the cross-wired
    quantum homogeniser.
    [% END %]
    [% wrap(text, 40, '* ', '  ') %]
```

Output:

```
    * First, attach the transmutex
      multiplier to the cross-wired quantum
      homogeniser.
```

It also registers a `"wrap"` filter which accepts the same three optional arguments but takes the input text directly via the filter input.

Example 1:

```
    [% FILTER bullet = wrap(40, '* ', '  ') -%]
    First, attach the transmutex multiplier to the cross-wired quantum
    homogeniser.
    [%- END %]
```

Output:

```
    * First, attach the transmutex
      multiplier to the cross-wired quantum
      homogeniser.
```

Example 2:

```
    [% FILTER bullet -%]
    Then remodulate the shield to match the harmonic frequency, taking
    care to correct the phase difference.
    [% END %]
```

Output:

```
    * Then remodulate the shield to match
      the harmonic frequency, taking
      care to correct the phase difference.
```
