Agree on the attributed text (though not on the need of it for writing prose), but Emacs also understands the concept of pages (you can insert page breaks at will by using form-feed characters, ^L)
- pvg 10y agoInserting form feeds is not 'understands the concept of pages'. As to the other thing, I'm not sure 'you don't need that feature' is likely to convince a professional writer/Wordstar user to take up emacs.
- CJefferson 10y agoEmacs doesn't understand pages at all, it just lets you put in page breaks. But it would let you make a page 500 lines long without comment, or checking, and it won't let you preview "page by page".
