description

:FIGlet operates over a range of text in your buffer. It has a completion function that will complete on installed font names, too. Set g:use_FIGlet_as_operatorfunc to a true value in your vimrc file to enable the g@ operator to filter your text through figlet, in-place. :FIGletFontDemo renders a sample of text through each installed figlet font. Plus, there is a Windows/MS-DOS version of FIGlet, so everybody can get in on the fun! Follow this plugin on GitHub: https://github.com/fadein/vim-FIGlet Q: Can't I do this same thing with the :! command? A: Basically, sure Q: What does this plugin give me that Vim's built-in filtering doesn't? A1. Convenience - through variables it can remember your preferences A2. Completion - so you don't have to memorize all of the commands or font names A3. Text-objects - use the g@ operator with text-objects for blazing fast transformations that will knock shoulder-surfer's socks off A4. A font sample buffer to help you pick out the perfect font for the occasion Q: Okay, I'm sold.  But what is this FIGlet you speak of? A: This:   __ _       _      _   / _(_) __ _| | ___| |_ | |_| |/ _` | |/ _ \ __| |  _| | (_| | |  __/ |_ |_| |_|\__, |_|\___|\__|        |___/             Er, that wasn't quite as impressive as I was hoping.  Check out http://www.figlet.org/ to get with the times.
