In this documentation topic we discuss setting of both a ``soft'' and a ``hard'' right margin.
Example Forms: (set-fmt-soft-right-margin 55 state) ; set soft right margin to 55 (set-fmt-hard-right-margin 68 state) ; set hard right margin to 68
Fmt and related functions insert linebreaks when lines get too long. A
linebreak is inserted at an aesthetically appropriate point once the column
exceeds the value of (@ fmt-soft-right-margin). If however the column
exceeds the value of (@ fmt-hard-right-margin), then a linebreak is soon
inserted. Such a ``hard'' linebreak follows the insertion of a
backslash (\) character unless fmt!, fms!, or fmt1! is
used, or state global write-for-read is true.
