[gedit-list] paragraph rewrapping plugin



I'm trying to find a plugin that can rewrap a paragraph while maintaining an indent, *and* that doesn't use a hard coded right margin.

I started trying Join/Split lines (part of the core plugins, I believe), and couldn't find any documentation on what column it wrapped at, or if it could be changed. As I recall, I don't think it preserves indent either, though I could work around that if the margin was adjustable by wrapping, then indenting.

I then tried Tom Insam's Rewrap Paragraph[1], which behaved inconsistently in handling indents, and also had a fixed margin.

Lastly I tried GDP Format[2], which handled preserving indents nicely, but also uses a fixed margin. I see from the status bar help text it is set at 78 characters.

Are there any rewrapping plugins that either have their own configuration setting, or honor the right margin setting in gedit?

Another approach might be a rewrapping tool that uses the first line of a selection as a template. Whatever indent and line ending position used for the first line gets replicated for all subsequent lines.
