@ -146,24 +146,34 @@ The placeholders are:
'%m':: left (`<`), right (`>`) or boundary (`-`) mark
'%w([<w>[,<i1>[,<i2>]]])':: switch line wrapping, like the -w option of
linkgit:git-shortlog[1].
'%<(<N>[,trunc|ltrunc|mtrunc])':: make the next placeholder take at
least N columns, padding spaces on
'%<( <N> [,trunc|ltrunc|mtrunc])':: make the next placeholder take at
least N column widths, padding spaces on
the right if necessary. Optionally
truncate at the beginning (ltrunc),
the middle (mtrunc) or the end
(trunc) if the output is longer than
N columns. Note that truncating
truncate (with ellipsis '..') at the left (ltrunc) `..ft`,
the middle (mtrunc) `mi..le`, or the end
(trunc) `rig..`, if the output is longer than
N columns.
Note 1: that truncating
only works correctly with N >= 2.
'%<|(<N>)':: make the next placeholder take at least until Nth
columns, padding spaces on the right if necessary
'%>(<N>)', '%>|(<N>)':: similar to '%<(<N>)', '%<|(<N>)' respectively,
Note 2: spaces around the N and M (see below)
values are optional.
Note 3: Emojis and other wide characters
will take two display columns, which may
over-run column boundaries.
Note 4: decomposed character combining marks
may be misplaced at padding boundaries.
'%<|( <M> )':: make the next placeholder take at least until Mth
display column, padding spaces on the right if necessary.
Use negative M values for column positions measured
from the right hand edge of the terminal window.
'%>( <N> )', '%>|( <M> )':: similar to '%<( <N> )', '%<|( <M> )' respectively,
but padding spaces on the left
'%>>(<N>)', '%>>|(<N>)':: similar to '%>(<N>)', '%>|(<N>)'
'%>>( <N> )', '%>>|( <M> )':: similar to '%>( <N> )', '%>|( <M> )'
respectively, except that if the next
placeholder takes more spaces than given and
there are spaces on its left, use those
spaces
'%><(<N>)', '%><|(<N>)':: similar to '%<(<N>)', '%<|(<N>)'
'%><( <N> )', '%><|( <M> )':: similar to '%<( <N> )', '%<|( <M> )'
respectively, but padding both sides
(i.e. the text is centered)
