I have some text files previously formatted in vim using \"gggqG\". Now I need to convert them to one line per paragraph format. I saw a way(using :g command) to do that before,
Maybe you should set textwidth to very large value (like 99999999) (0 does not work for some reason) and use gggqG?
gggqG
// I cannot tell you a way to reformat your paragraph with :g without knowing exactly what the paragraph is. Maybe somebody else can.
:g
