The term "French Spacing" is used for two spaces after a period ending a sentence, for those wishing to do more research. I have not found any authoritative answer. The balance has been towards two spaces when using a monospaced font. That points towards a way forward. Why do programming languages continue to assume use of a monospaced font? It was natural when we used punch cards and line printers, but now? Python relies on the indentation but could be flexible about other textual attributes. -- Pete Forman -./\.- Disclaimer: This post is originated WesternGeco -./\.- by myself and does not represent pete.forman@westerngeco.com -./\.- the opinion of Schlumberger or http://petef.port5.com -./\.- WesternGeco.
