I guess that makes sense. See, I thought of the headlines more as a bulleted list and not just a section heading tree... If you have any suggestions or guidance, let me know. Either way, thanks for the sanity check. - Lex On Thu, Jun 9, 2011 at 11:58 PM, Darlan Cavalcante Moreira wrote: > > I think this is the correct behaviour, since headlines cannot span multiple > lines (as far as I know). > > This is also the case for the fill-paragraph command.
