---------------------------------------- Re: tfurrows - Reliable tech May 07th, 2018 ---------------------------------------- First let me offer my condolences to tfurrows for the loss of a long phlog post. [0] Your loss is also ours. Second, let me suggest a slight modification to your workflow: - Generate a tmp-file for authoring - Process tmp-file in a secondary stage for formatting If the formatting fails, you still have your temp file. Alternatively, vim will save everything you type to a swap-file as you type it, and preserve undo states. Come to the dark side. (TXT) [0] tfurrows - Reliablility of Tools
