Hmm. If I set that to `t', then I must manually enter two spaces after a period to get proper filling. Although I don't think I've ever noticed a difference between word and sentence breaks in filling. So I suspect it would not change much in practice. What I'm looking for is a fill mode that converts single space after period to double space after period, if that period is the end of a sentence. I suspect you need to understand English (or whatever language is being written) to do that reliably. Which is probably why it is not available. I also don't see the point. Is there really any significant difference in readability between this paragraph and the previous one? This one has double spaces after the sentence end. I don't think it is significant, certainly not worth spending time on. I suppose it depends a lot on the font. -- -- Stephe _______________________________________________ Dvc-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/dvc-dev
