+
+Refill minor mode provides support for keeping paragraphs filled as you
+type or modify them in other ways.  It provides an effect similar to
+typical word processor behaviour.  This works by running a
+paragraph-filling command at suitable times.
+
+When you are typing text, only characters which normally trigger auto
+filling, like the space character, will trigger refilling.  This is to
+avoid making it too slow.  Apart from self-inserting characters, other
+commands which modify the text cause refilling.
+
+The current implementation is preliminary and probably not robust.  We
+expect to improve on it.
