Sensibly reduce linefeeds #2

Open xeruf opened 3 years ago

Really like the concept, but for my taste this tool adds far too many linefeeds. For example, I would not add linebreaks after less than three words (unless there is a full stop), since these either mark an enumeration or an opening/intermittent clause, either of which have no business standing alone.

For example, this is one thing the tool produced:

Soon,
multiple purple,
slimy,
stretched bodies emerged.
As one approached her,
she saw that it had no head
and nothing.

I'd prefer

That's a great idea! I don't use this tool but I agree that's much better.

Will gladly merge and cut v0.3 if you want to open a PR :)

Unfortunately I have no experience with ruby, but maybe...

Do you use any other tool or do you simply have everything formatted with semantic linefeeds already?

Any update? @xeruf
