- 1. How do I adjust the paragraph-formatting behaviour of vile 3.25?
- I'd like the paragraph delimiter to be a single carriage return.
- This way (I think) it would be possible to reformat a whole document
- with the need for separating paragraphs with blank lines. As it is
- now, without blank line a document gets reformatted into one huge
- paragraph.
-
- I've tried setting the "paragraphs" editor mode to "\\n\" but vile
- says this is a bad pattern. I don't know enough about regular
- expressions to be sure what I should be doing here.
-
- 2. The reformat command seems to want sentences separated by two
- spaces. Is there a way to adjust this to one space?
-
- Thanks.
-
- Michael.
