I think the term is "domain-specific" and the domain is typesetting documents and arranging material in structured ways. When I wrote what you quote, I meant general-purpose, like C. But now that you say it, LaTeX offers a borderline case: the programming parts of it, I don't want to be filled, but I want the text part of it to be (perhaps with the modification I suggested). HTML on the other hand, I don't consider programming but as with LaTeX, the text parts of an .html file I would like filled, but not the tags that set (and should so reflect) structure. > And Org's tables - exportable to LaTeX & HTML - are > really, really great.

Stuff like that is great - when they work :) -- underground experts united
