When editing documents or plain text, a simple line formatting of too short
or uneavenly splitted lines is usually required. eve has a built-in fill
command that operates on the currently set line length. vi has the built-in
J command that joins the current lines to one or n following lines,
without splitting.
For more effective text formatting use the fmt filter or any similar
program.
The syntax for a paragraph is:
!}fmt -80 |
reformat lines by word units over 80 columns |
