I don't think this is currently possible, perhaps try to tune the
'formatlistpat' option so that those lines are detect as "lists"

Thank you for suggesting this - I'll explore it.

 

But I would rather ask, if you see such lines, why do you format them in
first place? This may depend on the document however. Not sure if this
is easily possible

I don't manually/explicitly format them - I have 'a' set in formatoptions. This basically means if I get my cursor in and around those lines while being in the 'insert' mode, those are going to get formatted (unwrapped) and lead to the undesired output.

Thanks,

-Uday
