 [ 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.

Ciao,
