Description

splitter:

  1. rule for common abbreviations
    1. parse "dr." and "mr." properly so they're not considered to be the ends of sentences.
    2. single letters with periods after them are also special, like h.h. dalai lama should read that way.
      1. that's because there are two single ones in front.
      2. currently it double spaces the h. dalai part, since it thinks it's a sentence.
  2. split lines wrong re periods
    1. punctuation only counts if there's a space after it. or a quote after it.
    2. otherwise, if it's in the middle of a word, it must not cause a line break.
  3. splitter mods
    1. needs to handle quotes better.
    2. if there's a period in the quote, it counts as the period to get two spaces.
    3. but if it's a comma, it needs just one space.
  4. another splitter paragraph signal
    1. if a line is indented, that can be taken as a cue for a new paragraph!
    2. keep the indent?
  5. need default indent specification for new paragraphs.
  6. enhancements:
    1. the indenter guy should allow any character to be described as the space character between words. then \ and / can be used for breaking files up.
    2. the indenter should allow an indentation on the left and an indentation on the right to be maintained (the one on the right is there already, right?).
