@end table
Note: the @code{formatter} command has been removed. It was superseded by
a more general mechanism: the filtering of buffer or marked text through
an external command. Such filtering is done by typing @code{^R^X} and then
preceding your formatter command with the pipe symbol (@code{|}). It has
the added advantage that the operation can be undone.
If you use such a formatting command regularly, you could assign the relevant
series of keystrokes to a single key in your nanorc:
@example
bind M-F "^R^X|yourformatcommand^M" main
@end example
(Note that the @key{^R}, @key{^X}, and @key{^M} are each a single, literal
control character. You can enter them by preceding each with @key{M-V}.)
