Pasting from a normal editor, where you have determined where the
line-breaks occur, will likely mess the appearance of your text, if
your chosen line length exceeds that of the browser.
AFAICS the act-of-pasting automatically places a line-break according
to the appearance of the paste-source. So you CAN'T achieve
auto-line-wrap by avoiding pasting line-breaks.
Do you see a solution to this problem.
== TIA.
Use an editor that allows you to create a text file with no CR or LF
(are there any that don't allow that?).
OK, I don't see why it took me so long to realise the imposibility
of a solution via ANY editor. That's why I hate these common
'herd' replies of "buy yourself a dingdong like ME and you're fixed'.
Are you trying to say that you know only text editors that lack any
user control of 'wrapping' or 'line length' and therefore do not
believe my comment was meant in all seriousness?
Which editor do you use?
I don't think I've ever used a text editor that can't produce 'endless
lines' or 'unwrapped paragraphs'; the command or setting to make it do
that will of course depend on the program itself. I use "mcedit",
which is part of the mc (Midnight Commander) file manager (but can be
launched independently). I'm sure Vi and Emacs are equally capable,
and any other editor designed for writing code for computer programs;
it's a pretty fundamental requirement!
I needed to realise the THEORETICAL answer that
'because gpm pastes-what-it-sees' , if I see a line-break on the
screen, gpm will paste that.
Perhaps you should try copy/paste without the mouse. With mcedit, I'd
have to 'save' the file to disc and then use the browser to open it,
and use then Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v (or Shift-Insert).
Also I forgot that this is also a M$ forum, and their pasting isn't
YGWYS.
== Thanks.
I wouldn't have thought of comp.os.linux.networking as having much to
do with Microsoft!
