Err, I think so. vim has a format option mapped (since versions 5. or
so) to gq. So you just have to select the paragraph you want to format
(that is, visualize it) and then hit 'gq'. If you have had your .vimrc
on the web, it might have Q mapped to gq. Of course, this only works for
"standard" text: quoted text wouldn't be correctly formatted, but there
must be macros doing this.
