Would it be possible to use the Linux command "fmt" to have the selected portion of the buffer reformatted? Perhaps i might operate only on text prefixed in a pre-determined method - e.g. with "> " or "/*" but it could still be coded so that it was quite generic. Below is a link to an example of "fmt" used to reflow the text in a C comment block: http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/unix3/upt/ch21_04.htm Regards, Russell Dickenson (AKA phayz) _______________________________________________ Geany mailing list [email protected] https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany
