+ | ======Synopsis:====== | ||
+ | $__center__(<width> <text>) | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Technical:====== | ||
+ | This function returns the input text right-justified in a buffer that is | ||
+ | precisely (** ((width - strlen(text)) / 2) + strlen(text)** ) characters | ||
+ | wide. The width must be given, there is no default. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Practical:====== | ||
+ | This function returns the given text, padded on the left such that it | ||
+ | will appear to be "centered" in the width given. The right side is not | ||
+ | padded, only the left. To force padding on both sides, you must use the | ||
+ | width qualifier $[]var. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Returns:====== | ||
+ | Input text centered in given width. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Examples:====== | ||
+ | <file> | ||
+ | $center(15 hello there) returns " hello there" | ||
+ | $[15]center(15 hello there) returns " hello there " | ||
+ | </file> | ||
