Consequently, I often have to span multiple lines. Example blit -a -b -c ... To span multiple lines, you need to use the backslash ("\") as a continuation. Example: blit \ -a \ -b \ -c But, I prefer a format where all the backslashes are placed in a specific column. It would then look more like this: blit \ -a \ -b \ -c ...which makes the continuations obvious. Is there any way to do one of the following in emacs: 1) automagically put the continuation at a specific column number OR 2) use some sort of command (regex?) to insert the needed spaces up to a certain column and then put in a backslash? TIA, -T
