Handling of sentence ending #23

Open tschijnmo opened 7 years ago

tschijnmo commented 7 years ago

Thank you for such an awesome tool! It satisfies basically all my need. But there might be a small problem with the space after a sentence ending. In both vim gq and emacs fill-paragraph, two spaces are automatically added after a sentence. For instance,

A sentence.
Another one.

would be wrapped into

A sentence.**Another one.

where *s are used emphasize spaces. It would be great if WrapToColumn could add support for this. This could make the plugin more vim/emacs-like and could be a great help for code bases with consistency requirement on this. For instance, Python PEP8 recommends this style of sentence spacing and it is used throughout its official code base.

I favor a single space between sentences, but I agree that a configuration option would be useful! I'll add this when I have time again. Thank you!

@abrookins Actually I am not in favor of double spacing either. Just in same cases the code base has consistency requirement and this can be an issue. Thank you!
