Hi,
Will appreciate some help here.
I am trying to make an ascii resume. I had set the line width to 75
characters. However now i find another site which requires the line
width to be just 62 characters.
To do this I am using the emacs autofill mode and have set the
fill-column variable to 62 by placing the following lines in ~/.emacs.
(setq text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
(setq fill-column '62)
However suppose I have a paragraph like the below:
Background
----------
* This is a test message. This is a test message. This is a test
message.This is a test message. This is a test message. This is a test
message. This is a test message. This is a test message.
* This is a second test message. This is a second test message.
This is a second test message. This is a second test message.
This is a second test message.
How do i ask emacs to apply the new line width.
I tried using <Meta-q> but it makes the above lines as:
Background ---------- * This is a test message. This is a test
message. This is a test message. This is a test message. This
is a test message. This is a test message. This is a test
message. This is a test message. * This is a second test
message. This is a second test message. This is a second
test message. This is a second test message. This is a
second test message.
Am i doing something wrong here.
Thanks
