Hi, The current rule for sentence ending is:
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 14.3.3 Ending a Sentence ------------------------ As mentioned above, Texinfo normally inserts additional space after the end of a sentence. It uses a simple heuristic for this: a sentence ends with a period, exclamation point, or question mark followed by optional closing punctuation and then whitespace, and _not_ preceded by a capital letter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I wonder why such an exception "_not_ preceded by a capital letter". It seems a bad choice. Some acronyms end with a capital letter, and such acronyms are usually written without periods, so that most often Texinfo will do a wrong guess. See the acronyms on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acronym for instance. An acronym can also mix cases and end with a capital letter, e.g. "NaN" (for Not-a-Number). IMHO, the exception should be removed, or changed to: except in the case of a period preceded by a sequence of letters consisting of only one capital letter. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
