25.6 Filling Text

Filling text means breaking it up into lines that fit a specified width. Emacs does filling in two ways. In Auto Fill mode, inserting text with self-inserting characters also automatically fills it. There are also explicit fill commands that you can use when editing text.

• Auto Fill		Auto Fill mode breaks long lines automatically.
• Fill Commands		Commands to refill paragraphs and center lines.
• Fill Prefix		Filling paragraphs that are indented or in a comment, etc.
• Adaptive Fill		How Emacs can determine the fill prefix automatically.
