Well, i was going to try putting together some ELisp that does what you
want, as i think it's an interesting thing to do. :-) But, what i'm
primarily confused about is not the exact line length required, but the
overall /structure/ required. Setting aside the issue of the exact line
length required, which of the following forms is what you're after?
1.
blk("This is a sentence "
"stretching over "
"three lines. ")
2.
blk("This is a sentence
stretching over
three lines. ")
[There are fill spaces at the end of the first and second lines.]
3.
blk("This is a sentence ")
blk("stretching over ")
blk("three lines. ")
If none of the above, could you please provide a multi-line example of
the structure - regardless of exact line length - that you require?
Alexis.
