Where's the FAQ? - I need an answer that's probably in it.
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?
You'd think after all these years I'd know this one! *grin*

!<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.
