Hi Jim,
Thanks a lot! I used xemacs a long time ago. But at some point there was a problem with it and I'm not sure it is still being developed? So I searched for a different editor and landed on gvim. I don't mind trying out a new editor now and going back to emacs-like, or emacs itself.

Hi Jim,
Whether you like those results better than ragged-right is up to you, of course.
I prefer "flush left" (not block mode),
When you used "justified", I incorrectly thought "filled". My bad.
so the first example you gave. But I had also set gvim to not add an extra space after the period. I'm sure there is a way to set this also in emacs.
I re-filled your paragraph above with fill-paragraph, and, as you see, there are not two spaces after the periods. There may be some setting which preserves two spaces if the paragraph already has two, but doesn't otherwise put two. So again, that should not be a problem.
Emacs (for better or worse) is pretty much infinitely customize-able. Sometimes it can be difficult to find out what needs to be customized, but I suspect you would have to have some truly pathological text editing needs in order to find something that isn't easy (easy once you know how, anyway) in emacs.
Cheers. Jim ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@trinitydesktop.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@trinitydesktop.org Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@trinitydeskto...
