Does any one have a suggestion as to how to rewrap a paragraph
|
|
in vi? Here is a line I have in my .exrc that does the current
|
|
line. Is there a way to extend this to continue down each line
|
|
until it gets to a blank line? One flaw in this definition is
|
|
the last word of the last line always wraps to the next line.

|
|
characters, which had to be quoted when entered.)

To format a paragraph within vi, I have used:
|
|
|
|
{!}fmt where "fmt" is the UNIX command that does what you want (e.g.,
|
|
J).

If your system has some BSD utilities, you can use "fmt". Quoting from the
|
|
"man" page for "fmt":
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
fmt [ -width ] [ name ... ]

|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Fmt is a simple text formatter that reads the concatenation
|
|
of input files (or standard input if none are given) and
|
|
produces on standard output a version of its input with
|

lines as close to 72 characters long as possible. Default
|
|
line width can be altered with the -width option. The
