New optional key mapping to suspend autoformat #48

When using hard line break mode, autoformat is enabled by default.

Blacklisting is the existing mechanism to suspend autoformat for code blocks. You can now optionally map a buffer-scoped 'modifier' key to suspend autoformat for the Insert.

Also simplified README by moving things to the advanced section.

+
+There are two useful exceptions where autoformat (when enabled for the
+buffer) will be _temporarily disabled_ for the current Insert:
+
+First is _pencil’s_ 'blacklisting' feature: if used with popular
+prose-oriented syntax plugins, _pencil_ will suspend autoformat when you
+enter Insert mode from inside a code block or table.
+
+[**NEW**] Second, where blacklisting falls short, you can optionally map
+a buffer-scoped ‘modifier’ key to suspend autoformat during the next

-inoremap <buffer> <silent> <F7> <C-o>:PFormatToggle<cr>
+let g:pencil#map#suspend_af = 'K'   " default is no mapping
 ```
 
+Using the above mapping, with `Ko` you’ll enter Insert mode with the
+cursor on a new line, but autoformat will suspend for that Insert. Using
+`o` by itself will retain autoformat.
+
+(See the advanced section below for details on how blacklisting is
+implemented and configured).
+
 ## Manual formatting
 
 Note that you need not rely on Vim’s autoformat exclusively and can
 manually reformat paragraphs with standard Vim commands:
 
 * `gqip` or `gwip` - format current paragraph
-* `vipJ` - unformat (i.e., join all lines with hard line breaks) in current paragraph
+* `vapJgwip` - merge two paragraphs (current and next) and format
 * `ggVGgq` or `:g/^/norm gqq` - format all paragraphs in buffer
-* `:%norm vipJ` - unformat all paragraphs in buffer
 
 Optionally, you can map these operations to underutilized keys in your
 `.vimrc`:
 
 ```vim
 nnoremap <silent> Q gwip
+nnoremap <silent> <leader>Q vapJgwip
 ```
 
+Or you may wish to ‘unformat’, (i.e., remove hard line breaks) when using
+soft line wrap.

+
+Where you need to manually enable/disable autoformat for the current

+* `PFormatOff` - disable autoformat for buffer
+* `PFormatToggle` - toggle to enable if disabled, etc.

 When editing formatted text, such as a table or code block, Vim’s

+If you haven’t explicitly disabled autoformat, it will be suspended at
+the time you enter Insert mode provided that the syntax highlighting
+group at the cursor position is in the blacklist.

+Blacklists are now declared by file type. The default blacklists (and
+whitelists) are declared in the `plugin/pencil.vim` module. Here’s an

+For example, if editing a file of type ‘markdown’ and you enter Insert

-You can override this in your `.vimrc`. Additions to defaults with good

+The whitelist will override the blacklist and allow Vim’s autoformat to
+be avoid suspension if text that would normally be blacklisted doesn’t
+dominate the entire line. This allows autoformat to work with `inline`
+code and links.
