Hi,

Something which is really strange about fossil and is probably the
number 2 major complaints I heard from user to whom I presented
fossil, is the fact that by default fossil completly ignores the
formatting of the commit logs.

I do think that presenting the log mesages with proper formatting is
important and improves a lot clarity.

I sent long ago a couple of patches which have been integrated and
greatly improved by fossil developers (thanks!) but the default remain
on the non proper formatting without any simple mechanism to change
that default.

for the Web UI one can easily modify the CSS so it is not a big issue,
however on the cli we have to use the non documend fmtflags (or
something like that) with cryptic values :(

Any plan to improved this? at least add a setting where we can define
globally the format of the output? maybe switch by default to respect
the formatting of the log? (fossil is the only vcs I know that is not
respecting the formatting of the logs).

Bapt
