When I justify a paragraph, it looks like everything between the two
blank lines (that is, between \n\n and \n\n) gets justified. How does
punctuation like "'")}]>" enter the picture? To me, they don't have
anything to do with justifying paragraphs (that is, making lines
end after a given number of characters, but not in the middle of
a word).
BTW, why does the double-quote show up in the middle of that clump
of funny characters "'")}]>"? Do the double-quotes on the outside
of '")}]> not count?
Also, my .nanorc contains:
## The characters treated as closing punctuation. They cannot contain
## blank characters. Only closing punctuation, optionally followed by
## closing brackets, can end sentences.
##
# set punct ".?!"
and that sounds a little like what you're talking about above...
If not, what does this "punct" setting affect? That is, why would
nano care about what character ends a sentence?

Sure, as soon as I understand it. :)
