"Strip line breaks" suggestions...

[ferdnyc]

An exceedingly minor suggestion regarding option labeling.

The "strip line breaks..." options menu currently looks like this, in the top section:

Strip line breaks in selected text

Keep line breaks if...

• Preceded by dot
• Preceded or succeeded by quote

I would suggest changing the label on the first to "Preceded by period", which is a better description of its function. Especially with whitespace characters being drawn as actual gray dots, when "Draw whitespace" is enabled, "dot" is a confusing way to refer to a period character.

Actually, as a separate enhancement suggestion, it might be better to change the label to "Preceded by end of sentence", and add other sentence-terminating punctuation like ? and ! to the list. Currently, a sentence ending in a period will cause the line break to be preserved, but non-period-terminated sentences at the end of lines will be combined. It seems like we'd want to leave line breaks alone equally, whether the line ends with any of .?!

...In that same vein, whitespace characters following the period at the end of a line will trip up the combining logic, so a line that ends with ...some words.<space><space> will be combined with the next, even if "Keep line breaks if preceded by dot" is enabled. I wonder if the line-ending-character determination shouldn't trim off whitespace first, and consider only the last non-whitespace character?

Thanks for suggestions, I'll look into these.

Ok this should be done.
