Handling of spaces after periods about rebox2

[paulprovost]

Gah. Hosed by markdown!

Hi!

Rebox used to leave a space after a trailing period when boxing comments. The current version does not. Maybe you could add that as an option. Just to be clear, currently, we get

# Initializations. #
# ---------------- #

where

# Initializations.  #
# ----------------- #

would be nice(r). I find it lets the comments "breathe" a little bit.

Great work otherwise!

If it did that then it was a bug ;). Can you describe the context? When filling it used to leave a space?

What if you enable the minor-mode? then spaces at the end automatically expand the box due to autofill.

I should clarify the "used to" bit. This was using François Pinard's version. I have an older .el version, before the move to pymacs. The latest copyright note on it is 2006.

My issue happens without using the minor mode. This:

# Initializations.  #
# ---------------- #

formats as this:

# Initializations. #
# ---------------- #

when hitting "Alt-Q".

With the minor mode active, I am able to hit space after the period and get (what I would like):

# Initializations.  #
# ----------------- #

Makes sense?

Like I said, I like the extra space after the period. Could you add a flag to enable the "old" behavior?

I thought your name looked familiar. You're from the rebox header? hehe.

I'll take a look at it.

Do the latest changes satisfy your request?

[paulprovost]

Yeah, I'm at the origin of this whole thing...

I'll have a look at the changes over the weekend. Thanks!

Oh and also if you need a minimum box size, you can se the rebox-min-fill-column

Great! Setting rebox-pad-sentence-end to t works fine. Had to set sentence-end-double-space to nil (two spaces were a bit much). Nice how you used that instead of making up some other sentence end regexp for yourself. I bow to your emacs-lisp talents!
