[ About reformatting text... ]
Do you know JOE (Joe's own Editor) that comes with Linux? It has a
reformatting function. I like this function, because it's so useful. Look at
this example:
/* bla bla bla bla test hello world bla bla bla bla test hello world bla bla
* bla bla test hello world bla
*
* bla bla bla test hello world bla bla bla bla
* test hello world bla bla bla
* bla test hello world bla bla bla
* bla test hello world bla bla bla bla
* test hello world bla bla bla bla test hello world
*/
These are two paragraphs. The second one was edited and so the lines are
underfull. Now I place the cursor into this paragraph and press ^k f:
/* bla bla bla bla test hello world bla bla bla bla test hello world bla bla
* bla bla test hello world bla
*
* bla bla bla test hello world bla bla bla bla test hello world bla bla bla
* bla test hello world bla bla bla bla test hello world bla bla bla bla
* test hello world bla bla bla bla test hello world
*/
That's great! I often exit RHIDE just to edit and reformat comments. It's
very useful for reformatting quoted text in news-articles, too.
