FILL PARAGRAPH Reformats the current paragraph, so that the maximum number of words fits on a line according to the margins of the buffer. Typically, you use FILL PARAGRAPH after erasing, removing, or pasting text, or after changing the margins or paragraph indent. Steps: 1. Put the cursor anywhere in the paragraph you want to fill. 2. Use FILL PARAGRAPH. The cursor moves to the end of the paragraph. Example: The following commands set the left and right margins and reformat the current paragraph accordingly. You can then restore the previous margins for editing the rest of the buffer. Command: SET LEFT MARGIN 5 Command: SET RIGHT MARGIN 60 Command: FILL PARAGRAPH Usage notes: o EVE's default paragraph boundaries are any of the following: * Blank line * Top or bottom of the buffer * Page break (form feed at the start of a line) * RUNOFF command (such as .BREAK;) at the start of a line * VAX DOCUMENT tag (such as <LE>) at the start of a line o FILL PARAGRAPH deletes tabs and spaces at the start of each line in the paragraph, but does not affect tabs and spaces in the middle of a line or at the end of a line. o Use SET FILL TAGS to make EVE fill RUNOFF commands or VAX DOCUMENT tags at the start of a line, that is, remove them from the list of paragraph boundaries. You may then want to redefine FILL keys, for example the EDT keypad GOLD-KP8 key, as FILL RANGE. This would avoid accidentally filling text that does not have blank lines or page breaks---possibly making your entire buffer hard to read. SET FILL NOTAGS restores RUNOFF commands or VAX DOCUMENT tags at the start of a line to the list of paragraph boundaries.
