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?

which looks to be the same end result.

Ah, seems the .nanorc in my home directory is quite a bit outdated.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
