The JUST parasite package to super-editor justifies text. It works
like runoff in autoparagraph mode, but does not accept dot commands. The
width is set in the parasite-default word (if this is zero, 72 is used,
and the parasite-default word is set to that). JUST runs from wherever
the mark is set to, to the current point. It moves the mark to where it
would have to proceed from if more text was added and it was restarted.
If the parasite-default value is set to a negative value, JUST does
not justify text. Instead it merely sets the mark to wherever the point
is at.
The most common use of this parasite package is to run it in
auto-parasite mode. In this way it is invoked whenever the user types a
carriage return (actually, a linefeed). Since it uses and sets the mark,
it has the effect of running along quietly behind the user, neatening up
the text a line or two back.
The user can move the mark about to have the justifer start at
different points, and can redefine the width at different points if that
is desired.
