You can use the :j command to join a range of lines which works
nicely with the range "'{,'}" or with a :g command such that you
could do things like

:g/^\n\</+;'}-j

which will join every line-separated paragraph(*) in your entire
document into single-line paragraphs.

-tim

(*) it expects a blank line before it so it might miss the first
paragraph in your document if there's not a blank line in before it.
