Someone had asked how do you justify the text from within vi: >From the keyboard of karish at mindcraft.com (Chuck Karish): >: :map @ 1Gi.ad b^V^M^V^[-!Gnroff > If simple text formatting is sufficient for your needs try :%!fmt The above format the whole file. If you just want to format lines 10 to 30, say, try :10,30!fmt cheers...sj
