This is my idea for not auto-filling nroff directive lines. I struck it on a long .URL line (a groff extension). I think comment lines like .\" should still auto-fill, as the do now, though they don't actually come out quite right yet (neither before nor after this change). 2007-10-12 Kevin Ryde * textmodes/nroff-mode.el (nroff-mode): Set auto-fill-inhibit-regexp so as not to auto-fill on directive lines other than comment directives.
