Hi Group,
A client has requested that the content on their site has two spaces
between the end of one sentence and the start of the next. We could do
it by using non-breaking spaces, but is there a better way of
achieving this - possibly with CSS?
Thanks in anticipation.

We had a discussion on this recently, and, although tedious, it was
decided that each sentence was best put in a <span class="sentence">
wherein this was defined simply as :
.sentence {padding-right: 0.5em; }
All other approaches (non-breaking space, using pre, etc) had problems,
it seems.
You can see a page done like this at:
http://www.rhh.myzen.co.uk/rhh2007/terms/terms.html (this site is under
construction)
You can see one of the pitfalls in paragraph 2: if the text is
justified, you encounter some lines shorter, because of the padding, but
it isn't often, so I decided that it was better to have a small %
incorrect whilst maintaining the spacing throughout the rest of the
page/site.
I have painstakingly done this for the whole of the site - but the
client is delighted! :'( and :-)
HTH,
