Description mjevans 2004-06-06 02:24:05 UTC 
Some uses of text require hard line breaks, but are convenient to edit under
soft word-wrap.  (Email is an example.)  This suggestion is a pair of commands
to re-format text between hard line breaks and soft word wrap.  The text editor
UltraEdit shows how this works from its Format menu.  (Windows only, free trial
download.)  UltraEdit places the line breaks at the window wrap boundary or some
column number.  Now this suggestion also connects to issue 10815.  The user
should be allowed to specify the type of line break to insert, whether CR, LF,
CRLF, or "system native," and see matching symbols when toggling "Non-printing
characters on/off."  These distinctions are important because LF alone does not
invoke new paragraph styles, while CRLF does.  (UltraEdit is imperfect in this
respect.  It only shows a single paragraph symbol to represent CRLF - I think it
should show two symbols, one for CR and one for LF.)

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
