	How I make sure my burrow phlog posts are not too wide
	January 25th, 2019
	----------------------------------------

	Here's a nifty one, sometimes when making phlog posts, I run into GNU
	nano doing a very bad job word wrapping, which results in the phlog
	looking bad in say lynx on a standard 80x25 terminal. No biggie, I
	setup a function to give me a hand.

	Software used:
	* GNU bash 4.4.23 in POSIX mode
	* tmux-SIXEL ( https://github.com/saitoha/tmux-SIXEL )
	* burrow ( https://github.com/jamestomasino/burrow )
	* GNU nano 2.9.6

	My function is placed into ~/.bashrc, here's what it does:
	* Checks to see if it's being called from a running tmux (case $TERM)
	* Saves tmux window title from before burrow running
	* Renames current tmux window to "burrow"
	* Sets current tomux window to 73 characters wide
	* Traps ctrl+c to restore window title if interrupted
	* Tells nano to try to wrap at 72 characters and runs burrow
	* Renames window back to its original name when burrow is done
	* Restores tmux to default window width
	* Sets return code in case running from another script

	Here's the condensed code I am using in ~/.bashrc:

	case $TERM in
	tmux*)
	burrow() {
	local code=0
	local ancien
	ancien=$(tmux display-message -p '#W')
	tmux rename-window "burrow"
	tmux setw force-width 73
	trap "{tmux rename-window $ancien ; tmux setw force-width 0 }" INT
	env EDITOR="/usr/bin/nano -r72" burrow $@
	code=$?
	tmux rename-window $ancien
	tmux setw force-width 0
	return $code;
	}
	:;;
	*)
	:;;
	esac
