Documentation

List of contexts in which automatic filling never occurs.

If Auto Fill mode is active, it will be temporarily disabled if point is in any context on this list. It's e.g. useful to enable Auto Fill in comments only, but not in strings or normal code. The valid contexts are:

 string -- inside a string or character literal
 c -- inside a C style block comment
 c++ -- inside a C++ style line comment
 cpp -- inside a preprocessor directive
 code -- anywhere else, i.e. in normal code

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 21.1.
