I'm trying to format the debian install manual (text version) for

quicker...
vim is really powerful once you get into the macro language
(there's probably a way to program a prime number generator in
there somewhere) but for the standard user interaction it's a
LINE-ORIENTED beast. you can split a line here to make two
lines, you can join two lines together to make one big one --
but for the most part you can't massage text across lines.
vim is great, but it has its stumbling blocks...
