I have a text file that is pretty long. Any easy way to \"undo\" a M-q
(fill-paragraph) on a file that was written and saved a while ago?
For example, I wan
You can set fill-columnn
to a really large number, and fill.
C-u 10000 C-x f M-x fill-individual-paragraphs
Or you can use a little custom function:
(defun refill-paragraphs-to-be-one-line ()
"fill individual paragraphs with large fill column"
(interactive)
(let ((fill-column 100000))
(fill-individual-paragraphs (point-min) (point-max))))
Use the following from my .emacs:
(defun unfill-paragraph ()
(interactive)
(let ((fill-column (point-max)))
(fill-paragraph nil)))
(defun unfill-region ()
(interactive)
(let ((fill-column (point-max)))
(fill-region (region-beginning) (region-end) nil)))
I can't take credit, I googled this years ago.
