Forgot to mention that to my knowledge it doesn't hyphenate words. It just adds spaces to justify.

groff! i used it to format my .project file which you can see at `finger dozens@tilde.town`. if you just have paragraphs, you should be able to `cat file.txt | nroff -ms -Tascii`

Is there a tool that can take a text file, wrap it at a given maximum width, add spaces to justify the text, and hyphenate words if it has to add too many spaces, à la LaTeX? I'm sure there are tools that will wrap and even justify, but I'm not sure about hyphenation.
