I have the following in my .vimrc :
" Command to join lines in all paragraphs in a range/the whole buffer (Jp
== join paras)
:com! -range=% Jp <line>,<line>g/^\s*\S/ .,/^\s*$/-join
" Explanation:
" :g/^\s*\S/ " Go to the first in each sequence of non-blank lines
" Actually every non-blank line but the result is the same here!
" .,/^\s*$/- " "Select" all lines from the current to the one before the
next blank line
" join " Join the "selected" lines
" Mapping to join lines in all paras in the buffer
:nnor Jp Go<esc>ggVG:Jp<cr>
" Explanation:
" G " Go to the last line in the buffer
" o<esc> " Add a blank line below the last so we are sure there is one!
" gg " Go to the first line in the buffer
" V " Visually select the (first) line
" G " Extend the selection to the last line in the buffer
" :Jp<cr> " Execute the command defined above
" Mapping to execute the :Jp command over the current visual selection
:vnor Jp :Jp<cr>
