Tags: patch


This feature prettify the page separator character (^L) with
a horizontal line (to end of buffer) only if the character
is at beginning of line.

Unlike popular packages like page-break-lines and form-feed(-st), this
one is written in C and does not present performance problems (I hope).

This package tries to be close to page-break-lines and be an alternative
to make-separator-line.

This partially works, however there are a few bugs that I can't find a
solution for:

- It won't display the characters inserted in front.
  I want to make it similar to display-fill-column, that only
  insert the horizontal line character if the row is empty.
- For some reason it inserts newlines after inserting the character.
- The highlighting stops when inserting or deleting newlines from
  previous or next line.

I would like to hear your suggestions.

Thanks.
