<grin> Yeah, it is much easier if you just insist on people not being
lazy :-) But you have to admit, an automatic reformat would be very
handy for writing documentation files...

If it is any help, I have some wordwrap code in my editor, that you are
welcome to look at. It works very much like that, but with a slightly
higher level control routine on top of it. I have one routine to split a
line if it is too long, and another to wrap words from the next line
onto the end of the current one, if there is room for them. It isn't
then too hard to write a proper function that scans down through the doc
from whatever line you changed, calling these two in turn to get a 100%
correct reformatting...
