>From (info "(texinfo) Not Ending a Sentence"): Depending on whether a period or exclamation point or question mark is inside or at the end of a sentence, slightly less or more space is inserted after a period in a typeset manual. Since it is not always possible to determine automatically when a period ends a sentence, special commands are needed in some circumstances. Usually, Texinfo can guess how to handle periods, so you do not need to use the special commands; you just enter a period as you would if you were using a typewriter: put two spaces after the period, question mark, or exclamation mark that ends a sentence. IOW, the intent is to (1) mimic typographical rules, where an end-of-sentence space is slightly wider than (say) an after-abbreviation-period space, and (2) to guide TeX(info). Also, the ‘forward-sentence’ (M-e) command in Emacs expects that. Ludo’.
