122 +The current AsciiDoc may barf on NOME and SINOPSE, as pt_BR language

129 +
130 +I am not happy with this one yet. I am contemplating to introduce a new
131 +syntax "%[magic(param)<anything>%]" to generalize expressions of this and
132 +line wrapping features in an extensible way.

137 + - print_wrapped_text(): allow hard newlines
138 +
139 +... and the first two from this series will be useful to implement an
140 +example magic "wrap", e.g. "%{wrap(i,j,w)%s%+b%]".

145 +I think we should redo this on top of the first two patches from
146 +js/log-rewrap series; %B(x) is just a special case %B(x,x,0), no? If a
147 +magic value 0 (or negative) given to wrap-width does not disable wrapping,
148 +we probably should make it so. I merged this to 'pu' but then ejected it
149 +because it seems to break at least t6006.
