incidentally, I feel the CLI timeline would profit from a similar change
and user selectable setting for the behaviour (and also from a setting for the line length used for wrapping which is rather small right now) but of

would be great, too.


It's relatively easy to create a _completely_ customized timeline using any
scripting language which has sqlite bindings (that means most scripting
languages), e.g.

yes I know (and have fiddled with the `fsl' TCL/expect script by marc simpson myself (http://[email protected]/fsl) in order to get the timeline CLI output just as I want it). but that should not be the default route to propose for the average user (and as has been pointed out on the ML elsewhere, I believe: the sole existence of quite a lot of different scripting solutions to wrap fossil one way or other indicates that the CLI is found insufficient by many people). especially, the default timeline CLI formatting really is not nice and the CLI in general would profit from a bit more love and care which currently is mostly directed at the web ui, it seems. but whether that can have sufficient priority is of course not for me to decide ...
