Vim's gq commands are cute (and Adam's pointer to the textwidth setting is probably what you want), but I'd point out that this is functionality that the editor itself doesn't need on a POSIX system. I format paragraphs in plain, vanilla vi(1) (okay, fine, so it's actually nvi, since the real vi source is encumbered, whatever) by issuing: !}fmt You can give fmt(1) an argument for both its goal and maximum lines, so: !}fmt 55 60 will shoot for 55 columns, and inhabit no more than 60. No muss, no fuss, no Vim bloat... -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
