Sherlock Holmes observed that ".. After you have eliminated the impossible, only

the possible, however improbable, remains..". I, however, do not like to elimin-
|
|
ate the impossible. And so I believe, Holmes and Watson were gays.

they are (n|t)roff macros which follow a point '.' at the beginning of a line
|
|
as in:
|
|
.IP some stuff
|
|
If you are not using this they are not much use. I am occasionaly forced to
|
|
write uniplex documents which use .PA for page breaks and I sometimes set
|
|
up paragraphs for this because uniplex is so horrible but reasonably easy
|
|
to hack in vi. Of course for code use the paragraph commands '{' and '}'
|
|
also recognise curly barckets at the beginning of a line which makes it
|
|
easy to go from function to function. It realy ought to be generalised
|
|
to a sequence of space separated stuff which might start a line.

Subject: Paragraphs and vi

Hi!
|
|
|
|
I'm looking for a way to automatically format paragraphs using vi.
|
|
|
|
I've been using vi for years, (and I love it, and I've resisted
|
|
switching to Emacs), and all this time I've just used "J" and the
|
|
return keys. But I really wish there was less annoying way to do it.
|
|
|
|
(At least on my system, setting the wrapmargin to greater than zero
|
|
doesn't influence the behavior of the "J" command.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
If it isn't clear what I mean by "formatting paragraphs", here is
|
|
an example:
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
This is a sample sentence.
|
|
This is sample sentence number two, which is longer than the others.
|
|
This is sample sentence number three.
|
|
This is sample sentence number four.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I want a way to automatically convert the above four lines
|
|
| of text into a nicely formated paragraph.
|
|
V
|
|
|
|
This is a sample sentence. This is sample sentence number two, which
|
|
is longer than the others. This is sample sentence number three. This
|
|
is sample sentence number four.
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
I would greatly appreciate any help on this!
|
