Text::Autoformat isn't perfect. I'm not using Text::Autoformat in a completely automated situation. I'm able to manually intervene and do any final tweaks to the text. Regardless, it makes my life much easier.

In fact, I'm not sure it can be perfect due to ambiguity with how many of us write. For example, given the following text:

> this text should be considered a single
paragraph
> that was hard wrapped such that not every
line has a quote character.
[download]

We would want it to be formatted as:

> this text should be considered a single
> paragraph that was hard wrapped such
> that not every line has a quote character.
[download]

However, given this text:

> (Sir Galahad approaches the Bridgekeeper) Stop! What is your name?
Sir Galahad of Camelot.
> What is your quest?
I seek the Grail.
> What is your favorite color?
Blue.  No yellow...
[download]

we would want it to be formatted as:

> (Sir Galahad approaches the Bridgekeeper)
> Stop! What is your name?
Sir Galahad of Camelot.
> What is your quest?
I seek the Grail.
> What is your favorite color?
Blue.  No yellow...
[download]

and not:

> (Sir Galahad approaches the Bridgekeeper)
> Stop! What is your name?
> Sir Galahad of Camelot.
> What is your quest?
> I seek the Grail.
> What is your favorite color?
> Blue.  No yellow...

How is Text::Autoformat to tell the difference?
