Remember that you can filter your vi text through *any* filter/command
you have available on your system.  For instance, I very often reformat
my paragraphs by moving to the start of the paragraph (vi command '{')
and the I type '!}adjust' and the paragraph gets formatted.  If I instead
type '!}adjust -j' I get the paragraph right hand justified (non-ragged).
