Because of this, Pine and Pico are not included with +many GNU/Linux distributions. Also, other features (like goto line +number or search and replace) were unavailable until recently or +require a command line flag. Yuck. + +nano aims to solve these problems by emulating the functionality of +Pico as closely as possible while addressing the problems above and +perhaps providing other extra functionality. +</longdescription> +<use> + <flag name="justify">Enable justify/unjustify functions for text formatting.</flag> + <flag name="debug"> + Enable debug messages and assert warnings.
