+<indent>Emacs has the ability to edit <italic>enriched text</italic>, which is text
+containing faces, colors, indentation, and other properties.
+This document is a quick introduction to some of the features,
+and is also an example file in the <italic>text/enriched </italic>format.</indent>
+
+
+<x-bg-color><param>blue</param><x-color><param>white</param><bold>INSTALLATION and STARTUP</bold></x-color></x-bg-color>
+
+
+<indent>Most of the time, you need not do anything to get these features
+to work. If you visit a file that has been written out in
+<italic>text/enriched</italic> format, it will automatically be decoded, Emacs will
+enter `enriched-mode' while visiting it, and whenever you save it
+it will be saved in the same format it was read in.
+
+If you wish to create a new file, however, you will need to turn
+on enriched-mode yourself:
+
+
+<fixed><indent>M-x enriched-mode RET</indent></fixed>
+
+
+Or, if you get a <italic>text/enriched </italic>file that Emacs does not
+automatically recognize and decode, you can tell Emacs to decode
+it (which also turns on enriched-mode automatically):
+
+
+<fixed><indent>M-x format-decode-buffer RET text/enriched RET</indent></fixed></indent>
+
+
+
+<x-bg-color><param>blue</param><x-color><param>white</param><bold>WHAT IS ENCODED</bold></x-color></x-bg-color>
+
+
+<indent>Here is the current list of text-properties that are saved; they
+are discussed in more detail below. Most of these can be added or
+changed with the "Text Properties" menu, available under the
+"Edit" item in the menu-bar, or on C-mouse-2 (Control + the middle
+mouse button).
+
+<bold>Faces:</bold> <indent>default, <bold>bold</bold>, <italic>italic</italic>, <underline>underline</underline>, etc.</indent>

+
+<bold>Newlines:</bold> <indent>Which ones are real ("hard") newlines, and which can be
+changed to fit lines into the margins.</indent>
+
+<bold>Margins:</bold> <indent>can be indented on the left or right.</indent>
+
+<bold>Justification</bold> <indent>(whether lines should be flush with the left margin,
+the right margin, fully justified, centered, or left alone).</indent>

+
+<x-bg-color><param>blue</param><x-color><param>white</param><bold>FACES and COLORS</bold></x-color></x-bg-color>
+
+
+<indent>You can add faces either with the menu or with <fixed>M-o.</fixed> The face is
+applied to the current region. If you are using
+`transient-mark-mode' and the region is not active, then the face
+applies to whatever you type next. Any face can have colors. If
+this is its lone attribute, the face is put on the color submenus
+of the "Text Properties" menu.</indent>

+
+
+<italic><indent>Text/enriched</indent></italic><indent> format distinguishes between <underline>hard</underline> and <underline>soft</underline> newlines.
+Hard newlines are used to separate paragraphs, or items in a list,
+or anywhere that must be a line break no matter what the margins
+are. Soft newlines are the ones inserted in order to fit text
+between the margins. The fill and auto-fill functions insert soft
+newlines as necessary, but hard newlines are only inserted by
+direct request, such as using the return key or the <fixed>C-o
+(open-line)</fixed> function.</indent>
+
+
+<x-bg-color><param>blue</param><x-color><param>white</param><bold>INDENTATION</bold></x-color></x-bg-color>
+
+
+<indent>The fill functions also understand margins, which can be set for
+any region of a document. In addition to the menu items, which
+increase or decrease the margins, there are two commands for
+setting the margins absolutely: <fixed>C-c [ (set-left-margin)</fixed> and <fixed>C-c
+] (set-right-margin)</fixed>.
+
+
+You <indent>can change indentation at any point in a paragraph, which
+makes it possible to do interesting things like
+hanging-indents: this paragraph was indented by selecting the
+region from the second word to the end of the paragraph, and
+indenting only that part.</indent></indent>

+
+<x-bg-color><param>blue</param><x-color><param>white</param><bold>JUSTIFICATION</bold></x-color></x-bg-color>
+
+
+
+<indent><nofill>Several styles of justification are possible, the simplest being <italic>unfilled.
+</italic>This means that your lines will be left as you write them.
+This paragraph is unfilled.</nofill>
+
+
+<flushleft>The most common (for English) style is <italic>FlushLeft. </italic>This means
+lines are aligned at the left margin but left uneven at the right.</flushleft>
+
+
+<flushright> <italic>FlushRight</italic> makes each line flush with the right margin instead.
+ This paragraph is FlushRight.</flushright>
+
+
+
+<flushboth><italic>FlushBoth </italic>regions, which are sometimes called "fully justified"
+are aligned evenly on both edges, so that the text on the page has
+a smooth appearance as in a book or newspaper article.
+Unfortunately this does not look as nice with a fixed-width font
+as it does in a proportionally-spaced printed document; the extra
+spaces that are needed on the screen can make it hard to read. </flushboth>
+
+<center>
+
+ <bold>Center</bold>
+
+ Finally, there is <italic>center </italic>justification. The normal
+ center-paragraph key, M-S, can be used to turn on center
+ justification in enriched-mode.
+
+ M-j or the "Text Properties" menu also can be used to change
+ justification.
+
+
+
+</center><flushboth>Note that justification can only change at hard newlines, because
+that is the unit over which filling gets done. </flushboth></indent>

+
+
+<indent>Enriched-mode documents are saved in an extended version of a
+format called <italic>text/enriched</italic>, which is defined as part of the MIME
+standard. This means that your documents are transportable (even
+through email) to many other systems. In the future other file
+formats may be supported as well.
+
+
+Since Emacs adds some non-standard features to the format (colors
+and read-only regions), not all systems will be able to recreate
+all of the features of your document, but they will get as close
+as possible.
+
+
+The text/enriched standard is defined in </indent>Internet<indent> RFC 1896
+(<<http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1896.txt>).</indent></indent>

+
+-<indent> User-preference variables: <fixed>default-justification,
+enriched-verbose.
+
+</fixed></indent>-<indent> You can add annotations for your own text properties by making
+additions to <fixed>enriched-translations</fixed>. Note that the standard
+requires you to name your annotation starting<italic> "x-" </italic>(as in
+<italic>"x-read-only"</italic>). Please report any such additions that you
+think might be of general interest using <fixed>M-x report-emacs-bug</fixed>.</indent>

+<italic><indent>[Feel free to work on these and send us the results!]</indent></italic><indent>
+
++ Conform to updated text/enriched spec in RFC 1896.
+
++ Be smarter about fixing malformed files.
+
++ Make the indentation work more seamlessly and robustly:
+
++ Create<indent> an aggressive auto-fill function that will keep the
+paragraph properly filled all the time, without slowing down
+editing too much. Refill mode is a start at this, but needs
+
+</indent></indent> <indent>improvement.
+
++ Refill after yank. [Refill mode does that.]
+
++<indent> Make deleting a newline also delete the indentation following
+it.</indent>
+
++ Never let point enter indentation??
+
++ Notice and re-fill when window changes widths (optionally).
+
++ Deal with the `category' text-property in a smart way.
+
++ Interface w/ Gnus, VM, RMAIL. Maybe Info too? </indent>(Gnus 5.9 copes
+
+ with text/enriched incoming mail.)<indent>
+
++ Support more formats: RTF, HTML...
+
++ Use modern Emacs display features.
