Refilling to fit normal window width (fill-column) is okay; but spreading all over a 132 or more width window is not. It might be worth introducing a new variable like `info-fill-column'. I was actually asking the question to whomever the original quote: > Normal text should be reflown to fit the window width, and it > is done in the standalone info generation, too. came from. You seemed to attribute it to David Kastrup, but I seemed unable to find this quote in David's old messages. I agree with you that spreading text all over the window width could look ugly. But note that `fill-column' can be given mode-local values using mode hooks, so there would not seem to be any particular need for hyper-specialized variables like `info-fill-column'. Sincerely, Luc.
