PARAGRAPH
Command
To
invoke the
PARAGRAPH
command, press
P.
A paragraph
is
defined as one or
more nonempty lines preceeded by and followed by an empty (or blank) line. The
PARAGRAPH
command reformats a paragraph using the values set for indent and
left and right margin in the
SET
Margin command. Reformatting means rearranging
or
adjusting the words within a· paragraph between the right and left margins. A
word is defined as· a sequence
of
characters surrounded by white spaces (i.e., space,
tab, line feed,
or
carriage return). The default
is
to reformat one paragraph.
NOTE
The
PARAGRAPH
command execution starts
by
indentifying the begin-
ning
of
the current paragraph. AEDIT-86 searches backward for an empty
line; then, the end
of
the paragraph
is
found
by
searching forward for an
empty line. This implies
that
if your file has
no
empty lines,
PARAGRAPH
will process the entire file as one paragraph, wherever the cursor
is
currently
positioned in the file.
3.25. 1 Description
Move the cursor to any position
in
the paragraph to be reformatted.
