Paragraph filling seems to work just fine. Emacs filling is different from filladapt in one annoying way, even running with -Q thus probably not my setup. If you type something like line1 word1 word2 indentedLine2 word1 word2 line3 word1 word2 and then, with the cursor anywhere on line3, invoke fill-paragrah, you end up with: line1 word1 word2 indentedLine2 word1 word2 line3 word1 word2 whereas, filladapt leaves it as displayed. And yes, emacs auto-fill also doesn't handle line tags properly. -- HASM
