If you cannot get this to work, let me know and I'll compile a version which
translates a given character (% perhaps) to spaces.
Many functions in FD exist and/or behave the way they do for a reason. If you
read the documentation from top to bottom (I'm not asking you to :)), you'll
see there are a *lot* of flexibility and configuration options. That is not to
say that things are not missing.
Things are missing. And they will be addressed. That is why I'm here.
