Paragraph reformatting functionality

[Roey Katz <roey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

HI!

It's so wonderful to have found this mailing list.  I've been using Jed 
for years now, since '00 at least.  I wanted to know if it's possible (and 
if so, how) to do the following:


- I want to bind format_paragraph to a key (say, CTRL+semicolon, like 
"^;")

- I want a format_paragraph that formats the paragraph according to the 
indentation of the first line of the paragraph.  Currently, if I call m-x 
format_pagraph in the second line of a paragraph, and that second line 
starts from column 0 (where the first line starts on column 2, say) then 
the entire paragraph is reformatted to start from column 0.

- I want to make it so this new format_paragraph could format paragraphs 
which start out with bullets or hyphens or numberings* to have a hanging 
indent.  That is, I want this:

  - this is an item.  It goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on 
and on and on and on and on.
  - this is another item. It, too goes on and on and on and on and on and 
on and on and on and on.

to look like this:

  - this is an item.  It goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on
    and on and on and on and on.
  - this is another item. It, too goes on and on and on and on and on and
    on and on and on and on.

from anywhere that I press that ^; button.  (I see paragraphs as 
being separated by blank lines).


Thanks!
