How can I remove the extra spaces from the line? So that I end up with this: Suppose I have a line like this. Exactly like fill-paragraph, but I do not want to "fill" the paragraph, only the current line. Is there an Emacs function to do this? Not that I know of, but it'd be very easy to create one with a macro, or Emacs Lisp. Just narrow to the line, then fill paragraph. -- I shrivel inside each time [Star Wars] is mentioned. -- Sir Alec Guinness
