;;; Commentary:

;; Some text editors save text files with long lines, and they
;; automatically break these lines at whitespace, without actually
;; inserting any newline characters.  When doing `M-q' in Emacs, you
;; are inserting newline characters.  Longlines mode provides a file
;; format which wraps the long lines when reading a file and unwraps
;; the lines when saving the file.  It can also wrap and unwrap
;; automatically as editing takes place.

;; Special thanks to Rod Smith for many useful bug reports.

does not work well when the buffer is displayed in multiple windows
with differing widths.

If the value is an integer, that specifies the distance from the
right edge of the window at which wrapping occurs.  For any other
non-nil value, wrapping occurs 2 characters from the right edge."

  "Toggle Long Lines mode in this buffer.
With a prefix argument ARG, enable Long Lines mode if ARG is
positive, and disable it otherwise.  If called from Lisp, enable
the mode if ARG is omitted or nil.

When Long Lines mode is enabled, long lines are wrapped if they
extend beyond `fill-column'.  The soft newlines used for line
wrapping will not show up when the text is yanked or saved to
disk.

If the variable `longlines-auto-wrap' is non-nil, lines are
automatically wrapped whenever the buffer is changed.  You can
always call `fill-paragraph' to fill individual paragraphs.

If the variable `longlines-show-hard-newlines' is non-nil, hard
newlines are indicated with a symbol."
