Subject: change soft to hard lines and back
Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2017 14:44:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87mv2ljuer.fsf@mat.ucm.es> (raw)
Hi
For email I start to use messages-are-flowing.el (for example in
this message) which insert and display hardlines. (This is useful
when sending message to devices with small screens since then the
line ending is better displayed).
However sometimes it is a bit too much. So I still have a function
which replaces softline by hardlines, namely
(defun harden-newlines () (interactive)
(save-excursion
; (goto-char (point-min))
(mail-text) (while (search-forward "\n" nil t)
(put-text-property (1- (point)) (point) 'hard t))))
So I thought the inverse operation could be
(defun soften-newlines () (interactive)
(save-excursion
; (goto-char (point-min))
(mail-text) (while (search-forward "\n" nil t)
(put-text-property (1- (point)) (point) 'soft t))))
But unfortunately this did not work out. I tried to google for the
put-text-property function but did not find anything useful.
Somebody has an idea how to do that, replace hardlines again by
softlines?
Thanks
Uwe Brauer
