[comp.emacs] More indenting

brian@radio.astro.utoronto.ca (Brian Glendenning) (09/07/89)

I use bibtex mode to prepare bibliography entries. When you enter them
by hand all is well, lines get filled and indented the way you would
want them to:

@Book{,
  author = 	"Foo Bar",
  title = 	"Really Long Entries Get Formatted Nicely - But Only
		 If You Type Them In By Hand",
  publisher = 	"FuBar",
  year = 	"1999",
}

(Emacs starts out by giving you entries like:
  author = 	"",
and you type between the "'s).

Sometimes, however, rather than typing them in by hand you construct
them from some other source, e.g. the output of a database search.
That is, the text from some file is systematically inserted between
the ""'s, typically by using a keyboard macro using C-y (yank). My
question is: is there any straightforward way to get entries generated
this way formatted nicely like the ones you enter by hand? Thanks.
