: How does one pipe text through an external filter (formatter,
: spell-checker, etc.) from within vi, and (hopefully) have the
: process text object replace the text object currently on the
: screen?
!<mark>(command)<cr>
E.g., to pipe from the cursor to the end of paragraph through "adjust,"
!}adjust
This is all from the command mode, of course.
