>Emacs provides a hard newline mode.  If you type M-x use-hard-newlines
>RET, you turn on the hard newline mode.  In this mode, all newlines in
>a buffer are re-scanned and marked as either a ``hard'' one or a
>``soft'' one.  The behavior of commands inserting a newline character
>is also altered: `newline' and `open-line' will add the text property
>`hard' (value set to t) to newlines that they insert.
>
>As documented in the doc string of the command `use-hard-newlines',
>newlines not marked hard are internal to paragraphs.  However,
>currently the syntax feature does not work well with this.  For
>example, if you turn on long-lines mode with M-x longlines-mode RET in
>the *scratch* buffer, you will see the word `evaluation' in the first
>line is wrapped into the second line, but not recognized as a part of
>the comment.
