FORMAT_PAGE(1) FORMAT_PAGE(1)
NAME
format_page() - returns a string of formatted columns from
an array
SYNOPSIS
string format_page(string *items, int columns)
DESCRIPTION
Given an array of strings and a number of columns as
arguments, this function formats the array into a single
string with the elements put into the number of columns
specified. Unfortunately, as this sefun predates
Nightmare terminal support, this sefun only supports
80 character screen widths.
EXAMPLES
format_page(({ "house", "car", "cat", "mouse", "dog" }),
3) returns "house car
cat
mouse dog"
NOTES
This sefun is pretty much out of date and useless for
new uses.
