I am currently investigating my possibilities to switch to jEdit from Emacs on Mac OS X. So far, I think jEdit may replace Emacs for my programming needs.

But: The LaTeX editing mode needs some polish when compared with Emacs which I would possibly be able to do myself. I would really appreciate any hints on how to accomplish the following changes:

- a \section{} and related commands shall be treated as a paragraph on their own when reformatting paragraphs. Having to keep a empty line after them to prevent the formatting is very annoying.

- The indention in "description" environments is suboptimal. The indent should be like this:

\item[jEdit: ] Some nice text Editor I need to write about here.
_______________Some nice text Editor I need to write about here.

The '__' should be an indent until the second "Some" is alligned exactly the way the first line is.


Instead of:

\item[jEdit: ] Some nice text Editor I need to write about here.
Some nice text Editor I need to write about here.

Is it possible to accomplish something along these lines with jEdit?

Greetings,

Markus
