Selections
In the examples on this page, « represents the start of a selection and »
the end. These characers are removed from the input.
Plain text
language: "plaintext"
An empty selection selects a whole paragraph (and only that paragraph)
Line1«» ¦ -> Line1 Line2 ¦

Multiple selections (alt+click) can be used to select multiple paragraphs

A single selection can too.

If just a few lines from a paragraph are selected, only those lines will be wrapped.
Line1 ¦ -> Line1 ¦
«Line2 ¦ Line2 Line3 ¦
Line3» ¦ Line4 ¦

Rewrap works only with whole lines, so a (non-empty) selection of part of a line is the same as selecting the whole line.
Line1 ¦ -> Line1 ¦

Multiple line selections in the same paragraph is fine.

Comments
With wholeComment: true (default), all paragraphs in a comment block will be wrapped when an empty selection is present in it.
language: "c", wholeComment: true
// First paragraph«» -> // First ¦
// ¦ // paragraph ¦
// Second paragraph // ¦
bool checkFunctions() { // Second ¦
¦ // paragraph ¦
¦ bool checkFunctions() {
With wholeComment: false, only that paragraph will be wrapped
language: "c", wholeComment: false
// First paragraph«» -> // First ¦
// ¦ // paragraph ¦
// Second paragraph // ¦
bool checkFunctions() { // Second paragraph
¦ bool checkFunctions() {
Comments and code
language: "javascript"
In source code files, code is never wrapped, even if it's the only thing selected.
// Comment ¦ -> // Comment ¦
// text ¦ // text ¦
bool «»checkFunctions() bool «»checkFunctions()
So a selection can cover code and comments.
«// Checks answer is valid. -> // Checks answer is ¦
function isValid (answer) // valid. ¦
{ ¦ function isValid (answer)
// First strip off whitespace { ¦
answer = answer.trim(); // First strip off ¦
» ¦ // whitespace ¦
¦ answer = answer.trim();

Multiple selections on the same line count as just one selection.

The same as multiple empty selections in the same paragraph.
