I have keys mapped to the sequences "gq}" and "gqj" --- the first reformats
to the end of the paragraph, the second reformats just to the next line
(which can be done multiple times until you reach the line you want to stop
formatting at).

Note that there is a lot you can do to control how the formatting works.
See the docs about, e.g. the `formatoptions' settings, and for controlling
paragraph prefixes (e.g. for comments or quoting or whatever), see the
`comment' option.

Cheers,
Warwick
