Re: Adding String to Beginning of Lines

[Dante Catalfamo <dante@lambda.cx>]

The way I would do this would be to make a zero character wide rectangle 
selection that goes down the left side of the paragraph, and then use 
string-rectangle to insert the characters.

(starting all the way at the left side)
C-x SPC
(move down to the bottom of the area you want to add the lines to)
C-t
;; +
RET
