Hello.

I have seen LaTeX input files whose format renders them quite
human-readable, and was wondering whether Emacs could do this easily.

I've looked in the LaTeX FAQ, as well as in the GNU Emacs
documentation, but I haven't found anything on the subject.  Is there
any Lisp patch out there to prettify LaTeX files?

Also, can someone explain to me how the Emacs M-q command works within
LaTeX mode?  Its behavior makes no sense to me (based on my experience
with it in regular text mode) and the Emacs documentation says nothing
on the matter.

Thanks for your help.
Z.
