Package: emacs-goodies-el
Version: 33.5
Severity: wishlist

I found the info docs of auto-fill-inhibit.el (a warmed-over copy of the
.el commentary) a bit hard to follow.  Perhaps a rearrangement like the
following could make it clearer,


@file{auto-fill-inhibit.el} suppresses @code{auto-fill-mode} in
buffers with names matching regexps in @code{auto-fill-inhibit-list}.
The idea is that you can have @code{turn-on-auto-fill} or similar in a
mode hook but then suppress certain names.  For example,

@example
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
(require 'auto-fill-inhibit)
(add-to-list 'auto-fill-inhibit-list "-blah\\.txt\\'")
@end example

You can use @code{customize} for @code{auto-fill-inhibit-list}, but
you must add @code{(require 'auto-fill-inhibit)} explicitly to your
@file{.emacs}.

The way @file{auto-fill-inhibit.el} is implemented means that in
inhibited buffers an @code{M-x auto-fill-mode} command is suppressed
as well as mode hook calls.
