NAME

       shift_lines - add or remove indentation to/from lines

SYNOPSIS

       capitalize [-t num]

DESCRIPTION

       shift_lines  is  a  filter that adds or removes indentation on the left
       side of the lines sent through it. It reads text from stdin and  writes
       the  result  to  stdout.  When adding indentation, it will insert space
       characters; when removing, it removes any characters, not just space.

       Please note that shift_lines is intended mainly to be run from  XView’s
       text menu. It is used in the default text_extras_menu.

OPTIONS

       -t num Specify  number  of  characters  to be added/removed on the left
              side of the lines.  Default is 1, negative numbers  will  remove
              the given amount of indentation.
