,----[ C-h f fill-region RET ]
| fill-region is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `fill.el'.
|
| It is bound to <menu-bar> <edit> <fill>.
|
| (fill-region FROM TO &optional JUSTIFY NOSQUEEZE TO-EOP)
|
| Fill each of the paragraphs in the region.
| A prefix arg means justify as well.
| Ordinarily the variable `fill-column' controls the width.
|
| Noninteractively, the third argument JUSTIFY specifies which
| kind of justification to do: `full', `left', `right', `center',
| or `none' (equivalent to nil). A value of t means handle each
| paragraph as specified by its text properties.
|
| The fourth arg NOSQUEEZE non-nil means to leave whitespace other
| than line breaks untouched, and fifth arg TO-EOP non-nil means
| to keep filling to the end of the paragraph (or next hard newline,
| if variable `use-hard-newlines' is on).
|
| Return the fill-prefix used for filling the last paragraph.
|
| If `sentence-end-double-space' is non-nil, then period followed by one
| space does not end a sentence, so don't break a line there.
