If not, see . ;;; Commentary: ;; Provides a mode where paragraphs are refilled after changes in them ;; (using `after-change-functions'). This gives something akin to typical ;; word processor-style filling. We restrict refilling due to ;; self-insertion to the characters which trigger auto-fill. ;; It partly satisfies a todo item in enriched.el for some value of ;; `without slowing down editing too much'. It doesn't attempt to do ;; anything (using `window-size-change-functions'?) about resizing ;; windows -- who cares? ;; This implementation is probably fragile and missing some special ;; cases -- not extensively tested. Yanking paragraph breaks, for ;; instance, won't DTRT by refilling all the relevant paragraphs. ;; You could do it a bit more efficiently (and robustly?) with just an ;; auto-fill function, but that doesn't cope with changes other than ;; through self-insertion. (Using auto-fill and after-change ;; functions together didn't seem winning.) This could probably ;; benefit from a less-general and faster `fill-paragraph-function', ;; ideally as a primitive. ;; The work is done in a local post-command hook but only if ;; `refill-doit' has been set by the after-change function. Using ;; `post-command-hook' ensures simply that refilling only happens ;; once per command. ;; [Per Abrahamsen's maniac.el does a similar thing, but operates from ;; post-command-hook. I don't understand the statement in it that ;; after-change-functions don't work for this purpose; perhaps there was ;; some Emacs bug at the time. ISTR maniac has problems with ;; whitespace at the end of paragraphs.] ;;; Todo/Bugs: ;; - When deleting the first word on a line, the space after that word tends ;; to become part of the fill-prefix, causing either wrong filling of the ;; remaining text, or causing the cursor to move unexpectedly. Ex: ;; Start with ;; I>< blabla ;; ;; and hit backspace. We end up with ;; ;; >< blabla ;; ;; Other example. Start with ;; ;; Foo bar blablabla asdgf ;; word>< asdfas dfasdfasd ;; asd asdfa sdfasd sdf ;; ;; and hit M-backspace. We end up with ;; ;; Foo bar blablabla asdgf ;; > beg pos) ;Don't fill if point is outside the paragraph.
