Fill
Reformats the current paragraph or selected range so that the maximum
number of words fits on a line according to the margins of the
buffer.
The selected range is the text between the select mark (see the SET
SELECT_MARK command) and the current cursor position. If you do not
provide a selected range, the Fill key reformats the current
paragraph. The current paragraph includes the text on all previous
and subsequent lines until LSE encounters a completely blank line, or
a line that contains only a Runoff command in a buffer that is not
associated with a language. LSE preserves any blank lines you insert
in the text.
The Fill key reformats a block of text so that as many complete
words as possible fit on each line without exceeding the right
margin. You can change the right margin with the SET RIGHT_MARGIN
command. Except in comments, pressing the Fill key indents the
reformatted text to the left margin setting.
When you press the Fill key, LSE treats spaces, tabs, and
carriage returns as word delimiters. LSE treats character sequences
as whole words if it recognizes such sequences as placeholders.
Steps:
1. Optionally, select the text you want to fill.
2. Press the Fill key.
Filling a range keeps blank lines and page breaks as paragraph
boundaries, which is useful if you select several paragraphs or the
entire buffer.
If the buffer is associated with a language, just the comment segments
of the lines in the selected range get filled.
