@cindex kinsoku line-breaking rules
The place where Auto Fill breaks a line depends on the line's
characters. For characters from @acronym{ASCII}, Latin, and most
other scripts Emacs breaks a line on space characters, to keep the
words intact. But for CJK scripts, a line can be broken between any
two characters. (If you load the @file{kinsoku} library, Emacs will
avoid breaking a line between certain pairs of CJK characters, where
special rules prohibit that.)

OBJECTS is the plural noun for elts of LIST, and ACTION is a transitive
verb describing ACTOR. The default is \(\"object\" \"objects\" \"act on\").
The user's answers to the questions may be one of the following:
At the prompts, the user may enter y, Y, or SPC to act on that object;

If ACTION-ALIST is given, it is an alist (KEY FUNCTION HELP) of extra keys
that will be accepted. KEY is a character; FUNCTION is a function of one
arg (an object from LIST); HELP is a string. When the user hits KEY,
FUNCTION is called. If it returns non-nil, the object is considered

HELP provides information for displaying help when the user
types \\[help-command]. If HELP is given, it should be a list of
the form (OBJECT OBJECTS ACTION), where OBJECT is a string giving
the singular noun describing an element of LIST; OBJECTS is the
plural noun describing several elements of LIST, and ACTION is a
transitive verb describing action by ACTOR on one or more elements
of LIST. If HELP is omitted or nil, it defaults

of the alist has the form (KEY FUNCTION HELP), where KEY is a character;
FUNCTION is a function of one argument (an object from LIST); and HELP
is a string. When the user presses KEY, FUNCTION is called; if it
returns non-nil, the object is considered to have been \"acted upon\",
and `map-y-or-n-p' proceeeds to the next object from LIST. If
FUNCTION returns nil, the prompt is re-issued for the same object: this
comes in handy if FUNCTION produces some display that will allow the
user to make an intelligent decision whether the object in question
should be acted upon. If the user types \\[help-command], the string
given by HELP is used to describe the effect of KEY.
Optional argument NO-CURSOR-IN-ECHO-AREA, if non-nil, means not to set
