Hello all,

I am using Vim to edit groff (GNU Troff) code, where
formatting requests are denoted  by  a  dot  at  the
start  of a line.  Although Vim has the 'paragraphs'
optiion, it is only useful for selecting  paragraphs
and moving the around, but not for reformatting them
using the 'gq' command,  because  all  non-paragraph
formatting  requests  like  '.I'  (italic  font) are
treated as simple text and are moved away  from  the
beginning  of  the line and intermixed with the pre-
ceeding and following text.

In other words, the rules for separating  paragraphs
should  be  different  for reformatting text and for
logical  manipulation,  because  a   paragraph   may
include  many  formatting  requests  which  are  not
listed in &paragraphs and should not be affected  by
'gq'.

Could you suggest a way to implement this in Vim?

Thanks in advance,
Anton
