I think that a soft newline, most particularly so in the context of longlines.el, should pretty much be a space with a display property of newline on it, so search and replace would not even see it as anything but space. If that's not doable, it should at the very least be in all the same categories as a normal space when doing regexp (and possibly other) matches. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
