I don't believe that is true. IIRC, par handles David's '%' quote char
just fine. I thought it just looked for any string of characters that
appeared in more than one consecutive line, and then appended that to
the beginning of anything it wrapped (which is why it seems to fail on
me whenever I wrap one very long line, but works with any quotes when I
wrap several slightly long lines).
I'll read the man page though, it'll give me something to do to take my
mind off the Evils of Windows (Just spent ~5 hours trying to install
windows on Dad's computer. Lets just say that if I had a time machine
and a shotgun, nobody would have ever heard of Bill Gates or Microsoft).

Body? of what, the line?

That's some interesting stuff. I'll be certain to read that man page
right away :)
