    <p>I've <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/539791/tips-for-collaboratively-editing-a-latex-document/539848#539848">seen</a> at least two <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/193298/best-practices-in-latex/196724#196724">recommendations</a> on StackOverflow to insert newlines between sentences when editing LaTeX documents. The reason being that the practice facilitates source control, <code>diff</code>ing, and collaborative editing.</p> <p>I'm basically convinced, but I'm lazy, and I don't want to have to think about it.</p> <p>So I'm searching for some emacs incantation to handle it for me. Could be a minor mode, could be a set of variables that need to be set.</p> <p>I think what I <em>don't</em> want is</p> <ul> <li>Soft wrapping of text (say using the <a href="http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/LongLines" rel="nofollow noreferrer">longlines</a> and <code>(set long-lines-auto-wrap 't)</code>). This is because I don't want to impose requirements on my collaborators' editors, and <em>I</em> sometimes use other unix tools to examine these files.</li> </ul> <p>I think what I <em>do</em> want is</p> <ul> <li>For <code>fill-paragraph</code> to fill between newlines that look like they mark the end of a sentence. </li> <li>A solution that works with <code>auto-fill-mode</code> would be a bonus.</li> </ul> <p>That is:</p> <blockquote> <p>chat chat chat.<br> A new sentence<br> with goofed up wrapping that needs to be fixed.<br> Mumble mumble </p> </blockquote> <p>Transformed to:</p> <blockquote> <p>chat chat chat.<br> A new sentence with goofed up wrapping that needs to be fixed.<br> Mumble mumble </p> </blockquote> <p>Your comments and suggestions are appreciated.</p> <hr> <p>Edit: The suggestion by <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/539984/how-do-i-get-emacs-to-fill-sentences-but-not-paragraphs/540760#540760">Jouni K. Seppänen</a> pointed me at <code>LaTeX-fill-break-at-separators</code>, which suggests that emacs almost knows how to do this already. Anyway, I'm off to read some code, and will report back. Thanks again.</p> <hr> <p>More general version of the same question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/543379/editor-showdown-maintain-newlines-at-the-ends-of-sentences">Editor showdown: Maintain newlines at the ends of sentences</a>.

    1. COIt should be possible to just do the equivalent of M-^ (`delete-indentation`) on the beginning of each line that does not start a sentence. But why don't you want soft wrapping?

    3. CODo you think it would be worth generalizing this question so people can give solutions for other editors besides emacs? It's also more general than LaTeX, come to think of it. All the reasons for doing this apply to HTML documents as well, for example.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
