My guess is that each text corpus defines "paragraph" differently. In one, I'm guessing that the working text has paragraphs all on one line and visually wrapped with "set wrap"; whereas in the non-working text has embedded line-breaks, with pairs of line-breaks separating paragraphs. In the latter case, insertion of text would cause ragged paragraphs that you'd then have to reformat with "gqip", as long as your paragraphs are separated by "newline newline" (not "newline various-spaces/tabs newline"). You can also use vip to highlight the paragraph. The "ip" works as a motion, so you can use it for deletion: dip which you can read up on at :help ip :help ap -tim -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
