Re: [AUCTeX] format region without auto-fill

[Michael A. Gilchrist]

Hi David,

Thanks.  I was unaware of that command and it is good to know about.  I think 
that using this and adding:

(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook
          '(lambda() ;; lambda seems to be a dummy variable.  not sure
             (auto-fill-mode 1) ;; turn on auto-fill
             (setq fill-column 1000) ;; set length of column used by auto fill
             )
)

to my init.el file seems to do the trick.

Mike
