- Refill minor mode provides support for keeping paragraphs filled as
-you type or modify them in other ways. It provides an effect similar
-to typical word processor behavior. This works by running a
-paragraph-filling command at suitable times.
-
- To toggle the use of Refill mode in the current buffer, type
-@kbd{M-x refill-mode}. When you are typing text, only characters
-which normally trigger auto filling, like the space character, will
-trigger refilling. This is to avoid making it too slow. Apart from
-self-inserting characters, other commands which modify the text cause
-refilling.
-
- The current implementation is preliminary and not robust. You can
-get better ``line wrapping'' behavior using Longlines mode.
-@xref{Longlines}. However, Longlines mode has an important
-side-effect: the newlines that it inserts for you are not saved to
-disk, so the files that you make with Longlines mode will appear to be
-completely unfilled if you edit them without Longlines mode.

-
- Sometimes, you may come across ``unfilled'' text files, which Emacs
-normally displays as a bunch of extremely long lines. Comfortably
-reading and editing such files normally requires ``word wrap'', a
-feature that breaks up each long text line into multiple screen lines
-in a readable manner---by putting the breaks at word boundaries. Many
-text editors, such as those built into many web browsers, perform word
-wrapping by default.
-
- There are two different minor modes in Emacs that perform word
-wrapping. The first is Visual Line mode, which does it by altering
-the behavior of screen line continuation. @xref{Visual Line Mode},
-for information about Visual Line mode.
-
-@findex longlines-mode
- Instead of using Visual Line mode, you can use a minor mode called
-Long Lines mode. Long Lines mode wraps lines by inserting or deleting
-@dfn{soft newlines} as you type (@pxref{Hard and Soft Newlines}).
-These soft newlines won't show up when you save the buffer into a
-file, or when you copy the text into the kill ring, clipboard, or a
-register. Unlike Visual Line mode, Lone Lines mode breaks long lines
-at the fill column (@pxref{Fill Commands}), rather than the right
-window edge. To enable Long Lines mode, type @kbd{M-x
-longlines-mode}. If the text is full of long lines, this also
-immediately ``wraps'' them all.
-
-@findex longlines-auto-wrap
- The word wrap performed by Long Lines mode is @emph{not} the same as
-ordinary filling (@pxref{Fill Commands}). It does not contract
-multiple spaces into a single space, recognize fill prefixes
-(@pxref{Fill Prefix}), or perform adaptive filling (@pxref{Adaptive
-Fill}). The reason for this is that a wrapped line is still,
-conceptually, a single line. Each soft newline is equivalent to
-exactly one space in that long line, and vice versa. However, you can
-still call filling functions such as @kbd{M-q}, and these will work as
-expected, inserting soft newlines that won't show up on disk or when
-the text is copied. You can even rely entirely on the normal fill
-commands by turning off automatic line wrapping, with @kbd{C-u M-x
-longlines-auto-wrap}. To turn automatic line wrapping back on, type
-@kbd{M-x longlines-auto-wrap}.
-
-@findex longlines-show-hard-newlines
- Type @kbd{RET} to insert a hard newline, one which automatic
-refilling will not remove. If you want to see where all the hard
-newlines are, type @kbd{M-x longlines-show-hard-newlines}. This will
-mark each hard newline with a special symbol. The same command with a
-prefix argument turns this display off.
-
- Long Lines mode does not change normal text files that are already
-filled, since the existing newlines are considered hard newlines.
-Before Long Lines can do anything, you need to transform each
-paragraph into a long line. One way is to set @code{fill-column} to a
-large number (e.g., @kbd{C-u 9999 C-x f}), re-fill all the paragraphs,
-and then set @code{fill-column} back to its original value.
