41 text-property `hard' to newlines that they insert, and a line is
42 only considered as a candidate to match `paragraph-start' or
43 `paragraph-separate' if it follows a hard newline.
45 Prefix argument says to turn mode on if positive, off if negative.
46 When the mode is turned on, if there are newlines in the buffer but no hard
47 newlines, ask the user whether to mark as hard any newlines preceeding a
48 `paragraph-start' line. From a program, second arg INSERT specifies whether
49 to do this; it can be `never' to change nothing, t or `always' to force
50 marking, `guess' to try to do the right thing with no questions, nil
51 or anything else to ask the user.
53 Newlines not marked hard are called \"soft\", and are always internal
