I must, at a minimum, newline somewhere, e.g., "I was induced to take this course from the consideration also that the present work is not intended for popular use, that those devoted to science do not require such helps, although they are always acceptable, and that they would have materially interfered with my present purpose. Abbe Terrasson remarks with great justice that, if we estimate the size of a work, not from the number of its pages, but from the time which we require to make ourselves master of it, it may be said of many a book that it would be much shorter, if it were not so short." Will not automatically adjust, but the second I newline it into two paragraphs: "I was induced to take this course from the consideration also that the present work is not intended for popular use, that those devoted to science do not require such helps, although they are always acceptable, and that they would have materially interfered with my present purpose. Abbe Terrasson remarks with great justice that, if we estimate the size of a work, not from the number of its pages, but from the time which we require to make ourselves master of it, it may be said of many a book that it would be much shorter, if it were not so short." They both adjust. Any way for copy / pasted text to also automatically fill? -- View this message in context: http://emacs.1067599.n5.nabble.com/auto-fill-paragraph-tp269880p269953.html Sent from the Emacs - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
