Re: [Docutils-users] Re: New emacs support functions

[Martin B. <bl...@fu...>]

I just checked in a few changes that address some of the filling
issues with the "automatic fill on shift" that you mentioned.  For
line blocks, it is not reasonable to fill (obviously, due to the very
nature of line blocks).

So now if you invoke the shifting functions with a prefix argument, no
filling is done, no matter what.  To remove the whole indentation on
rst-shift-region-left, invoke with a negative prefix arg.   Ultimately
it would be better to find a way to let the filling routines
automatically figure this out.

cheers,
