Dear #emacs users,

I am trying to re-learn emacs after using #vim for several years.

One thing that I really liked in vim is that I can "reformat" long lines in a #markdown file by marking the lines (VISUAL mode) and then hitting "gq". This kept the markdown format, e.g. lists are still lists, but the lines are wrapped at whatever I set as the maximum line length.

It seems I am missing the right search terms because I only find "M-q" aka fill-paragraph, but this does not respect e.g. markdown lists.

Does anyone have pointers or search terms for me?
