I suppose one would want an RFC mode there, where page-delimiter is set up to match the footer+header. >Could you give more info about the precise case(s) where you bumped into ^L >in the middle of paragraphs? I'm documenting what pages, paragraphs and sentences are, in the elisp file searching.texi (page "Standard Regexps"). I haven't actually come across any difficulty that this paragraph break at ^L causes, yet at the same time, don't really see what its purpose is. I'm thinking about what I should say about this in searching.texi. > Stefan -- Alan. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
