Hello
I'm using auto-fill-mode to automatically wrap a line when writing a
text.
Unfortunatelly it has some inconvenient features. It does not merge
the next
line with the current in case the current line has got long enough
blank
space.
All in all, do you know any other tool that is more advanced.
I expect this tool to insert a '\n' when breaking a lines at the
predefined
column just like auto-fill-mode does.
thanks for help

Have you tried using long-lines mode? I used to use auto-fill but I
didn't like how it interoperated with other programs that I used. I
prefer text to just be all one line unless I explicitly put a line
break in. Of course, with longlines you can still turn it off briefly
and fill the text and then turn it back on if you want literal line
breaks when you're done.

Hello all,
How can I still have line wrapping (the text goes to the next line with
small return arrow when it is to long) when windows are plit in vertically
C-X-3 ?
I did quite a little googling like
<http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/emacs/emacs_89.html> but found no way.
TIA
Alain

I've added the following line to my .emacs file to make long lines wrap.
(set-default 'truncate-lines nil)
It works just fine. However, when I do C-x 3 to vertically split the
current buffer into 2 buffers, both of the buffers stop doing line wrapping
and the lines end in a $ to signify overflow.
How can I fix this.
Thanks
alan

RTFM. From the documentation of truncate-line:
Note that this is overridden by the variable
`truncate-partial-width-windows' if that variable is non-nil
and this buffer is not full-frame width.

If you read the documentation for truncate-lines, you will find the
following paragraph:
Note that this is overridden by the variable
`truncate-partial-width-windows' if that variable is non-nil
and this buffer is not full-frame width.
If that is not good enough -- perhaps you did not realize that
splitting with C-x 3 results in "buffers not full-frame width" -- then
I hope you will file a bug report. Just use M-x report-emacs-bug and
explain the problem. Bugs in the documentation are just that: Bugs.
And we need people to spot these, too. :)
Alex.
