Thanks. The macro basically works. But when I said "perceive a change of indent as a paragraph boundary", what I meant was that if one set of lines is indented to a different depth from other lines that are adjacent to it, that the macro would see these as being two distinct paragraphs.

Maybe that's not necessary. In fact, I probably don't need it. So I'll probably just use your macro as it is, but without the last line.

Sorry I asked the question and then forgot for so long to check back for the answers...

Anyway, the object I had in mind was to combine that with a macro of my own for reflowing text in a selection. Put them together, and you get something to reflow the paragraph the cursor is in.

Here is my reflow-selection macro:



The neat thing about this macro as it stands now is that if you select multiple paragraphs, it preserves the spaces between then and reflows each one individually.

I have added a line of code to perceive an indent as the paragraph boundary.
Also the code has been slightly optimized.
Recheck it.

Thanks.

Maybe I'll try to make a version that perceives a change of indent to be a paragraph boundary...

I just have removed two unnecessary lines form the code above. Recheck it now.

webern,

Thanks for posting the code. It will help me in developing my macro in which the next/prev phrase surrounded by quotes should be selected.

// File: Select_Paragraph.jsee
// Autor: Dmitry Pirozhkov
// Date: 23.Nov.2006
// Info: Macro to select the entire paragraph.
// Requires: EmEditor Professional v.7.00 or later
// Usage: Place the cursor anywhere within a paragraph you wish to select. Run this macro.

var blankLine = "^$"; //the paragraph delimiter
var y1;

with (document.selection) {

if (document.GetLine(GetActivePointY(eePosLogical), eeGetLineWithNewLines).length<=2) {
alert ("Please, place the cursor on the non-blank line.");
Quit();
}

if (!Find(blankLine, eeFindPrevious | eeFindReplaceQuiet | eeFindReplaceRegExp)) {
y1 = 1;
} else y1 = GetActivePointY(eePosLogical)+1;

if (!Find(blankLine, eeFindNext | eeFindReplaceQuiet | eeFindReplaceRegExp)) {
EndOfDocument();
}

SetActivePoint(eePosLogical, 1, y1, true);
StartOfLine(true,eeLineHomeText); //to perceive an indent as the paragraph boundary
}

I'm hoping to make a key which, when pressed anywhere in the paragraph, does a reflow of the text in it. Since there's no paragraph selection primitive, has anybody worked on a macro that can tell what a paragraph is?
