One I use a lot is fmt. If I'm editing text in vi I normally use "set wm=5" to get the
line wrapping at the 5th to last column. After making changes though the formatting gets
out of whack. I then use the "!" with a moving command to send a block of the file
through "fmt". e.g.
{ - Go to the blank line before a paragraph.
!}fmt - Send the paragraph through fmt.
Or 3 paragraphs
!3}fmt
Or for the entire document (which is probably not what you want):
1G!Gfmt
