Question

I write quite an amount of documents using gvim. I notice that I spend more time in formatting them. I like the RFC format. Trying to optimize, I was looking for commands/macros in gvim to do them efficiently. Has anyone tried RFC like formatting for paragraphs, headers with gvim?

Answer 1

If you know the appropriate config options for the par(1) external program (which has very high chances because I expect this is the program normally used to format RFC’s), you can set the 'formatprg' setting to use it

Good luck!
