Emacs does it this way because you reformat the same paragraph over and over. The downside is that sometimes a line is shorter than it could be because it would end in a period. For what we're doing here (producing tidy output) I prefer not to do the Emacs fiddling. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
