Variable: adaptive-fill-regexp

adaptive-fill-regexp is a customizable variable defined in fill.el.gz.

Value

"[      ]*\\([-–!|#%;>*·•‣⁃◦]+[      ]*\\)*"

Documentation

Regexp to match text at start of line that constitutes indentation.

If Adaptive Fill mode is enabled, a prefix matching this pattern on the first and second lines of a paragraph is used as the standard indentation for the whole paragraph.

If the paragraph has just one line, the indentation is taken from that line, but in that case adaptive-fill-first-line-regexp also plays a role.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 19.30.
