Automatic Line Break
If the input of text comprises several lines it is useful when the
editor completes a filled line and starts a new one all
by itself. Thus you may concentrate yourself fully to the text to be
entered. Starting with version 02 of exaEdit this is
the default behaviour of the editor. Default are lines with the maximum
length LWWIDTH. LWWIDTH
is the visible data
width in the data zone, for example 73 with an editor window of 80
columns and a number area of 6 digits.
As soon as 73 characters are entered exaEdit searches from left to right
for the first group of blanks and adds all characters before that group
to the first input line which is entered at once. All characters after
that group are put at the start of the next input line which will be
continued with the characters entered thereafter. You may control the
indenting with the command
It specifies if automatic line break should occur or not. Furthermore
you can specify if the line break column should be at the end of the
visible line as described or if it should have a fixed value. More
details on the syntax you can find in the corresponding part of the
section The Commands in Detail.
