# Markdown Formatter CLI

create a custom markdown formatter to implement desired features.

## Character Substitution

* em dashes to `--`
* curved quotes to straight

## Semantic Line Breaks

Join inappropriately split clauses.

Always split on certain syntax:
* full stop

Conditionally split in other cases
to prevent column overflow

```
(?<=\.) (?=.{30,})
(?<=,) (?=.{30,})
```
