Emacs, 22.2.50.1, Carbon Version 1.6.0
Well actually, it *almost* works on the Mac version: It works fine
with stars, or with (1), (2), etc:
(1) blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
(2) foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo
foo foo foo foo foo foo foo
The indentation is correct here on my Mac. But my linux emacs does the
stupid thing instead.
With things like (1.1), which I used in my original post, my Mac Emacs
version fails as well.
So, if I like the fill-paragraph behavior on my Mac Emacs better, can
I just try to locate a fill-paragraph.el file and copy it over to my
linux emacs? Or how should I proceed?
Thanks
Markus
