Unfortunately, it doesn't handle quoted text at all. I like the utility
'par', because it does so. So I can transform the above quote to this:
:I found reformatting in vi (vim, to be precise) is very easy when you
:simply mark all lines to be reformatted (visual mode) and then press
:'gq'. Voilą - nicely formatted paragraph with lines in ideal length.
by just piping the lines to an external filter, 'par -gqr 72'. :)
