'%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
+'%<( <N> [,trunc|ltrunc|mtrunc])':: make the next placeholder take at
least N columns, 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
+ N columns.
+ Note 1: that truncating
only works correctly with N >= 2.
-'%<|(<N>)':: make the next placeholder take at least until Nth
+ Note 2: spaces around the N
+ values are optional.
+'%<|( <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,
+'%>( <N> )', '%>|( <N> )':: similar to '%<( <N> )', '%<|( <N> )' respectively,
but padding spaces on the left
-'%>>(<N>)', '%>>|(<N>)':: similar to '%>(<N>)', '%>|(<N>)'
+'%>>( <N> )', '%>>|( <N> )':: similar to '%>( <N> )', '%>|( <N> )'
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> )', '%><|( <N> )':: similar to '%<( <N> )', '%<|( <N> )'
respectively, but padding both sides
(i.e. the text is centered)
