`sillyfmt`

A naive formatter which pretty-prints text that looks vaguely like code. Unlike most formatters, sillyfmt does not require that the code parses "correctly", or that it fits some particular format. Instead, it tries the best it can to make sense of the input data.

Usage:

Run sillyfmt on its on to get interactive formatting:

[~] $ sillyfmt
Hit enter twice to format, or re-run with --newline

Run it with --newline to start formatting immediately, rather than waiting for an empty line.

You can also pipe data directly into sillyfmt.
