Sometimes it is nice to have Emacs insert newlines automatically when
a line gets too long. Continuation on the screen does not do that. Use
Auto Fill mode (@pxref{Filling}) if that's what you want.
Continued lines can be rather difficult to read, since each line is
typically broken in the middle of a word. You can have Emacs insert a
newline automatically when a line gets too long, by using Auto Fill
mode. Another approach, intermediate between continued lines and Auto
Fill mode, is Long Lines mode, which ensures that wrapping only occurs
in the spaces between words. @xref{Filling}.
@cindex truncation
@cindex line truncation, and fringes
As an alternative to continuation,
Emacs can display long lines by
@dfn{truncation}. This means
that all the characters that do not fit
in the width of the screen or
window do not appear at all. @samp{$}
in the last column or a small
straight arrow in the fringe to the
right of the window indicates a
truncated line.
