How to use indented-text-mode

How to use indented-text-mode

[Mirza Al Awir]

Hi,

how do I use indented-text-mode?

M-x indented-text-mode does nothing. Yes, I'm not pressing "M", but the 
meta-key (ALT on my system)

I think there is another shortcut to apply i-t-m to the current block, 
but I did'nt find it.

Please help,
	Mirza

In recent Emacsen, indented-text-mode is the same as text-mode.

What do you expect?

I just want emacs to automatically break the line when I write. Or after 
I have written a block I want to break the lines on keystroke. So if I 
change something in a block I don't want it remformat it manually.

M-x auto-fill-mode RET

(global-set-key [f5]       'set-justification-left)
(global-set-key [f6]       'set-justification-full)
(global-set-key [f7]       'set-justification-right)

M-x auto-fill-mode RET
Also see M-x toggle-text-mode-auto-fill RET.

You can type M-q.  (Or ESC q.)
