Is there some way to avoid having to M-q every paragraph? I tried selecting whole buffer then M-q but that only affected last paragraph. It doesn't seem to contain any definable end of line markers that I can search and replace. TIA Francesco ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
