Editing Moreorless (section)

= Transforming blocks of full lines = 

You also can use a mark for selecting a block of full lines which you want to
transform in some way. moreorless currently implements three types of 
transformations:

* Indent a block by two space characters (Press ''Foenix+Tab'')
* Unindent a block by two space characters (Press ''Alt+Tab'')
* reformat a block (Press ''Alt+f'')

In order to apply these transformations to a block of full lines you first set
a mark in one line and then press one of the key combinations shown above on
another line. After that all lines which are are part of the selection are
indented one level, unindented a level or transformed to be justified as far as
is possible on a fixed width text screen using a fixed width font. 

The reformat transformation is especially useful for writing texts like this
one (in contrast to writing source code). It allows to reformat a section in
such a way that it appears as justified as possible. This simplifies working on
documents which have been formatted to be justified but have to be changed
afterwards in such a way that the justification is destroyed. ''Alt+f'' can then
be used to automatically reformat the document again. Lines created by the
reformatting transformation are at most 79 characters long.
