But I'd like to write it in the way I described. Maybe you could play with format-alist to frob the file contents on the way from file to Emacs and back. That way, you wouldn't see the double newlines, but they'd be in the file. In order to see double newlines, I would if it might work to use something similar to font-lock to place overlays on every newline with a before-string or after-string property containing one or two newlines. I never tried, so I don't know if it works. Hm. I guess it would be really difficult to change Emacs in such a way that M-q and friends and auto-fill do what you want for double-spaced files. Hm. Isn't there a way to tweak the distance between baselines in Emacs? That would enable people to have the look of double-space without actually having two consecutive newlines in the buffer. Then format-alist could add the newlines to the files. Kai
