Hi,

If you really need this effect (do you?) I will recommend you to use more standard tags with may be semantic classes on them.
For example:

These times of woe afford no time to woo<span class="full-stop">.</ span> Madam, good-night: commend me to your daughter<span class="fullstop">.</span>

.full-stop {
        margin-right: 1ex;
}
This will still produce left space after full-stop in case of CSS off and more semantic.

Or you could put whole sentence in a span:

<span class="sentence">These times of woe afford no time to woo.</ span> <span class="sentence">Madam, good-night: commend me to your daughter.</span>

best regards,
Dmitry Baranovskiy

I've looked around for a stable solution which doesn't involve putting &nbsp, &emsp; etc all over the content (that's presentational :-) ) and can only come up with using the old <s> tag (for strikeout):

s{
   padding-right: 1em;    text-decoration : none;
}

then, blah blah<s>.</s>blah blah. It seems to work, but I'd be grateful if someone could check it in odd browsers such as Lynx (Rene?). You can see a working test here:

Note: it needs a trans doctype if it's to validate . . .

Thanks.
