Greetings-

I would really like to be able to have a mode in emacs that would let the user view text in a different manner than emacs saves the buffer ... almost a "revert on save" ability. For example, I would really like to view text in emacs as double-spaced with auto-fill word-wrapping - but to lose the wrapping and line returns when saved.
Are there any libraries that do something like this? I've never written lisp -- is this a very hard thing to write?

Any help would be greatly appreciated....

Thanks-
T.
