e7491920fd docs: explain how to include a double quote plus space in a nanorc regex 
As double-quote-plus-space indicates the end of a regular expression
in a nanorc file, the inclusion of this combination *in* a regular
expression requires breaking the juxtaposition of the two, which
can be achieved by putting either of them between square brackets.

(It can also be achieved by preceding the space with a backslash,
which is shorter, but... the above method is more symmetrical.)

It has been more than three years since version 4.0 was released,
the moment that the defaults for line wrapping, smooth scrolling,

46f76ca8b8 docs: avoid large Table of Contents at top of HTML version of manual 
Texinfo-6.8 (that was used to build the docs of nano-5.9) changed
the way the @contents command is processed for HTML output, with as
result a detailed table of contents at the start of the HTML page.
That is ugly and too much detail.  To avoid that, produce a table
of contents only when generating output meant for printing.

very clear either, but the command is used on nearby lines too,

101dc4e805 docs: make ^E access the Execute menu in the example CUA bindings 
Also, add the normal CUA bindings for Undo (^Z) and Redo (^Y),
and drop the M-X thinko.

With these more "usual" alternative bindings, ^X will now do a Cut
(putting the cut text into the cutbuffer) only when in the main menu
-- in the other places it did not put anything into the cutbuffer,
so it's better to have only the default ^K ("kill") for that.

Suspension is now accessible with ^E^Z, and the Speller with ^E^S.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60766.
