When reading manuals in *info*
mode, I found rivers somewhat distracting. For example, the left image is what I see on the screen, whereas the right one have some rivers annotated out. (see also Tex.SE, and DSP.SE)
Is there anyway to avoid them? I have did a lot of searching, but haven't found a relevant package yet. The Emacs community doesn't seem to care too much about this issue...
C-x C-q
thenM-q
. (Don't try to save your changes.) For the paragraph you show that works for me, apparently because it was not filled with a largerfill-column
than what I use by default (70). IOW, you can refill the text, trying a differentfill-column
. The result might just result in different rivers, however. As @Stefan has said, Emacs development does not deal with this level of typography for online viewing - for one thing for lack of volunteers. On the other hand, try hardcopy versions of the manuals. – Drew Feb 24 '19 at 23:03
