That works, except for region handling. What the code above does is
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| | M-q | C-u M-q |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| no region selected | fill the paragraph | unfill the paragraph |
| | surrounding or | surrounding or |
| | following point | following point |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| region selected | nothing | unfills first (only) |
| | | paragraph in region |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
What I want is
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | M-q | C-u M-q |
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
| no region selected | fill the paragraph | unfill the paragraph |
| | surrounding or | surrounding or |
| | following point | following point |
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
| region selected | fill all paragraphs | unfill all paragraphs |
| | in the region | in the region |
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
Note that the wanted region-handling behaviors are those which one gets using M-x, i.e., with region selected
* `M-x fill-paragraph' fills all paragraphs in the selected region
* `M-x unfill-paragraph' unfills all paragraphs in the selected region
How to fix? Apologies for elisp lameness. One Of These Days I really gotta sit down and learn the tool. But right now, I gotta learn more fortran first :-(
Your assistance is appreciated, Tom Roche <Tom_Roche@pobox.com>
