Reformattable Text

This type of content corresponds to the mime type text/x-kom-basic. It is raw text that can be reformatted by the client without ill effects, but that can be legibly displayed on a text terminal without formatting.

• Lines must be no longer than 70 characters.
• Each line, except the last, is terminated by a single newline character.
• Two newline characters in succession signal the end of the paragraph.
• There must be no whitespace or newlines after the last character.
• The end of the last line also signals the end of the paragraph.

The following rules apply when reformatting:

• The indentation of the first line of a paragraph is to be applied to all lines in the paragraph.
• If the first line of a paragraph matches ">+ *" then the string that matched that regexp is to be prefixed to all lines of the paragraph.

This content type was previously erroneously called x-kom/basic, but as far as we know no client ever created texts that were labeled with that name. Please use the new name text/x-kom-basic instead.

Historical note: version 0.46.1 and earlier of the elisp client created texts labeled with x-kom/text. Clients may treat that content type as text/x-kom-basic for improved interoperability.
