consectetur: adipiscing elit. Etiam
sed purus: Vestibulum
ante: ipsum
primis in: faucibus
You'll have to paste the following into emacs I'm afraid (or set your
browser to monospace font?) to get this to look 1/2 decent.
I want (the colons aligned with the words preceding them "following"
the colon to the aligned point)
Internet IP Address: 67.170.74.92
Subnet Mask: 255.255.252.0
Default Gateway: 67.170.72.1
DNS1: 68.87.69.146
DNS2: 68.87.85.98
DNS3: 68.87.78.130
calling align-regexp on ":" doesn't work obviously and puts the spaces
between the words preceding the colon:
rem ipsum dolor : sit amet
consectetur : adipiscing elit. Etiam
sed purus : Vestibulum
ante : ipsum
primis in : faucibus
I know align-regexp has a fancier method to use with a prefix arg, but
I'm not smart enough for it. Is it possible to accomplish this with
align-regexp? A macro?

Awesome -1 ==> justify === perfect.
