With the versions of emacs I've been using for years, fill-paragraph
won't fill/reformat include in its definition of a paragraph any line
which begins with a space. However, the newer emacs version I use at
work will. That is,
(1) In the older versions, this will be
one paragraph. M-q will reformat it
fine. I like it this way.
(2) In the older versions, having just a
single space at the beginning
of a line tells paragraph-fill that this is
a separate paragraph. So this would be a
separate paragraph.
(3) In the new emacs version, all of these
would constitute one paragraph and so be
filled together. I would much prefer the older way
fill-paragraph works... so that (1), (2), and (3)
stay where they are.
How would I restore the old behavior to the new version of emacs?
Thanks much.
You can get this with
"(paragraph-indent-text-mode)
Major mode for editing text, with leading spaces starting a paragraph.
In this mode, you do not need blank lines between paragraphs
when the first line of the following paragraph starts with whitespace.
`paragraph-indent-minor-mode' provides a similar facility ..."
