;;; Commentary:

;; Some text editors save text files with long lines, and they
;; automatically break these lines at whitespace, without actually
;; inserting any newline characters.  When doing `M-q' in Emacs, you
;; are inserting newline characters.  Longlines mode provides a file
;; format which wraps the long lines when reading a file and unwraps
;; the lines when saving the file.  It can also wrap and unwrap
;; automatically as editing takes place.

;; Special thanks to Rod Smith for many useful bug reports.
