Like Greg, this is not a request. I was attempting to explain what I thought Lee was talking about. Obviously line wrapping (and line breaking as you type) are in Geany. Those are modes of operation. 2 other editors (jEdit and emacs) have the after-the-fact paragraph format function. I load up one of these to do the job when needed; especially useful when editing some HTML files, or preparing a document to look reasonable when printed.
Wherever the cursor is when started, the process goes back to the previous blank line and formats ( breaks lines ) to the next blank line. It often (usually) means manually entering a blank line or two before performing the operation to isolate the area in question, to contain the effect. It's really no big deal, but since I use Geany for html, php, c, c++, java, etc. as well as text files, I'd be happy not to need to fire up another editor just for this one function; but I don't mind doing it because it doesn't happen often. That's all. chuck Enrico Tröger wrote: > On Wed, 28 Jan 2009 15:22:25 -0800, chuck <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hey, > > still not sure whether Lee was asking for line wrapping or line > breaking. > > >> Added item.
