Hello Maurice,

Sure. The first one you trimmed the blanks at the end, and the second one they're there. 

Was the second one with fold or just "set trimblanks" disabled?

Maybe the difference is that fold does (or doesn't) include the blanks in it's count, whereas nano does (or doesn't) if you have them enabled? Which one do you think is doing it incorrectly?

Ah, seems the .nanorc in my home directory is quite a bit outdated. You are correct, they've removed 'justifytrim' at some point. :)

Mine is the exact same, except my .nanorc is probably about as old as my last contact with the developers for the feature I was looking for. I should probably take a look at some of the new options I never knew about. :)

Regards,
Nick
