well - paragraphs are *defined* as block of
non-empty lines separated by the *empty* lines
around them. no need for any setup here.

this one rejustifies the current paragraph:

map <f1> gqip

this one rejustifies all text:

map <f2> 1GVGgq

well, book dont rearrange themselves
to what you are sarching for. ;)

how about this one:
http://www.guckes.net/Setup/vimrc.minimal

explanation:
http://www.guckes.net/vim/setup.html

take a look at ":set" for what is really changed.
and then there is this great command ":options"
which creates a HUGE setup file with everything. :)

back up your setup. put it online.
you might find a backup in google.. ;)
https://www.google.de/search?q=sven.guckes+vimrc
whee - 2100 hits \o/ however, on page #11 is says:
"In order to show you the most relevant results,
we have omitted some entries very similar
to the 102 already displayed" - ah, well..

you might also want to ask interactively
on IRC on channel #vim. there are usually
over 1000 clients/nicks connected to that channel.

here is how: http://webchat.freenode.net/
choose a nickname, choose "#vim" as the channel,
you might want to "auth" to services,
and check that "i'm not a robot" box -
and then you (click on) "connect".

as the channel topic says:
"Don't ask to ask!
| Use :help and :helpgrep
| WIKI: http://vim.wikia.com
| PASTE: http://vpaste.net/?ft=vim

good luck in recreating your setup file! :)

Sven
