# A simple helper tool to create a formatted and CRLF-terminated plaintext from the Gemtext passed via standard input
#
# Usage: cat [file] | gmi2txt.sh [page_width] [leading_spaces] [trailing_spaces]
# (pass 0 as the reflow width if you want to pass the other parameters but don't want to turn on reflow logic)
#
# Created by Luxferre in 2023, released into public domain
