<p>EvMore - pager mechanism</p>
<p>This is a pager for displaying long texts and allows stepping up and down in
the text (the name comes from the traditional ‘more’ unix command).</p>
<p>To use, simply pass the text through the EvMore object:</p>
<p>The <strong>always_page</strong> argument decides if the pager is used also if the text is not long
enough to need to scroll, <strong>session</strong> is used to determine which session to relay
to and <strong>justify_kwargs</strong> are kwargs to pass to utils.utils.justify in order to
change the formatting of the text. The remaining <strong>**kwargs</strong> will be passed on to
the <strong>caller.msg()</strong> construct every time the page is updated.</p>

another move forward is required to exit. If set, the pager
exit message will not be shown.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>exit_cmd</strong> (<em>str</em><em>, </em><em>optional</em>) – If given, this command-string will be executed on
the caller when the more page exits. Note that this will be using whatever
cmdset the user had <em>before</em> the evmore pager was activated (so none of
the evmore commands will be available when this is run).</p></li>
<li><p><strong>page_formatter</strong> (<em>callable</em><em>, </em><em>optional</em>) – If given, this function will be passed the
contents of each extracted page. This is useful when paginating
data consisting something other than a string or a list of strings. Especially
queryset data is likely to always need this argument specified. Note however,
that all size calculations assume this function to return one single line
per element on the page!</p></li>
<li><p><strong>kwargs</strong> (<em>any</em><em>, </em><em>optional</em>) – These will be passed on to the <strong>caller.msg</strong> method.</p></li>
