refill-mode again

refill-mode again

[Frank Winkler - Sun Germany - Enterprise Services]

Hi again !

As I already stated, my refill.el revision 1.1 (I couldn't find a newer one)
appears to cause some problems:

1. emacs-20.6 on OS/2
    the file compiles happily and I can activate refill-mode but then I
    can't type blanks at the end of the paragraph
2. xemacs-20.4 (the Sun version bundled with WorkShop) on Solaris 8
    the file also compiles here but whwn trying to activate refill-mode
    I get the message "Wrong type argument: symbolp, (t)"

Can anybody give a hint what's wrong here?

TIA

perhaps refilling always removes blanks at the end of paragraphs.

I don't think this can be a feature cause I actually cannot enter text in 
that way: I can't press SPACE at the end of a word (which is the end of the 
paragraph while typing ;) ... the only solution would be to type without 
spaces and insert the blanks afterwards :/ ...

And as stated last time, it's because it has known bugs that have been
fixed in the version that comes with Emacs-21.  I can't believe you had
trouble finding Emacs-21.  The very latest version is in:

  http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/emacs/emacs/lisp/textmodes/refill.el?rev=HEAD

Of course, maybe it won't work with Emacs-20, but at least you'll start
with code that's known to work correctly (once it works).

If course I hadn't. Indeed, I compiled emacs-21.2 today and there was no 
refill.el in the distribution ... does it have a different name?

I'll check that as soon as I have the new file :) ...

Ok ok ... the culprit was a typo in my command :( ... if I search for 
"refil.el" it has to fail ;) ... I'm very sorry!

Thanks again

This seems to be completely different from the mentioned v1.1 ... which also 
leeds to the fact that it doesn't compile woth emacs-20 :( ... it complains 
as follows:

  ** The following functions are not known to be defined:
    skip-line-prefix, define-minor-mode

Who has enough knowledge to backport the current refill.el to emacs-20? :)

But I'll also test this with my fresh emacs-21 (on Solaris) on Monday ...

TIA

Do you know if there's a way to make it work on XEmacs 21.4/21.5 ?

It should work with any 21 version ...

I doubt it works in AutoCAD 21.x.
