I suspect that it is because AmigaGuide doesn't handle "embedded" formatting etc. commands that are split between lines. e.g. Look at Col 68 Line 106 (or so) of the original (un-reformatted) guide where you have: @{"partitions" link glossary.partition} ^ ^ ^ 68 75 106 As you can see, reformatting (75 cols) would leave '@{"parti' at the end of one line and put the rest 'tions" link glossary.partition}' at the start of the next line. Alas, AmigaGuide (at least the 2.x version) does not seem to want to look on the next line for the rest — that's what makes (manual) reformatting such a tedious solution :). ——
