And vice versa, of course. So, we would need a command which takes the contents of a , grinds it through the format-alist mechanism (or a similar one) and presents the result in a new buffer. The user may then edit and hit C-c C-c, whereupon the format-list mechnism (or a similar one) takes over again and the result is put between the ... tags. kai -- Abort this operation? [Abort] [Cancel]
