How can I tell Emacs to fill paragraphs with a single space after each period?
suggests adding the following two lines to your `.emacs’ file: (setq sentence-end “[.?!][]\”‘)}]*\\($\\|[ \t]\\)[ \t\n]*”) (setq sentence-end-double-space nil) back to top Why do I get these strange escape sequences when I run ====================================================== `ls’ from the Shell mode? This happens because `ls’ is aliased to `ls –color’ in your shell init file. You have two alternatives to solve this: * Make the alias conditioned on the `EMACS’ variable in the environment. When Emacs runs a subsidiary shell, it exports the `EMACS’ variable with the value `t’ to that shell. You can unalias `ls’ when that happens, thus limiting the alias to your interactive sessions. * Install the `ansi-color’ package (bundled with Emacs 21.1 and later), which converts these ANSI escape sequences into colors.
