I imagine this is a common problem, so I don't know why I'm having so much trouble finding an answer. Suppose I have a text document that I've worked on in text-mode. It is filled using the usual fill tools, so it wraps at 72 characters, with a hard return after each line. Paragraphs are separated by an extra hard return; there's no other indentation. I now need to give this document to someone who wants to work on it in a word processor, who complains that there are hard returns after every line. What's the easy way to remove these?
Some way may be unfill-region, that I found here at NG some years ago: (defun unfill-region (start end) "Make all START to END a single line." (interactive "*r") (save-excursion (goto-char end) (while (progn (goto-char (point-at-bol)) (< start (point))) (delete-indentation)))) But for long texts I use simply fill-paragraph or fill-individual-paragraphs on whole text (buffer is in text-mode, no longlines-mode is active). The result is one lines per paragraph. regards Marc
