I later applied formatting, well bold, using m-o b to some text and re-saved. But when I re-open the text file I lose the formatting. I am guessing this is a restriction of the text format rather than emacs itself. Is there a way I can save the file so that my formatting is retained? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/emacs-text-mode-and-formatting-tp32872629p32872629.html Sent from the Emacs - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
