Is this a bug report about org-mode or doc strings?

I am not sure. Is there a feature in emacs to write text based on full lines (based on fill column) and paragraph filling?

When I write a docstring, what is written in the buffer upon hitting `C-h f fun` shows the same formatting as was coded in the docstring. Last word on each line is the last word on each line printed in the function documentation buffer.

Yes -- is this a problem?
If you want to reflow a paragraph, then call `fill-paragraph'.

Yes, if I want to use a link in the docstritng.
The same problem occurs when inserting into a buffer.

Could you show an example that does that?

(fill-paragraph)?
In any case, this doesn't seem to be a bug in Emacs, so I'm closing this
bug report. If you need help implementing something, the correct venue
is one of the Emacs help mailing lists.
