[comp.editors] vi page break's

mpay@PacBell.COM (Mike Payer) (12/13/89)

        Just a small question about "vi". I know that ^L will cause a
        document to go to the next page. And when you want certain things
        to be on pages of thier own this is great.

        Ok so now the question: is there a way in "vi" to have the ^L placed
        every 60 lines automatically so that you can tell when producing a large
        document where your page breaks should be????


                       THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

With respect to placing a ^L every 60 lines, you can just pipe your
file through an appropriate pr command, as in:

	1G!Gpr -f -l60 -t

Doing this with straight ex commands would be more difficult.  (Let's
see,  how WOULD one do this with just ex commands?)
