Presumably, sticking any kind of extra markup in is going to cause you
to have to put in as much attention, effort and typing (at least) as
putting in the space manually, and css can't yet select sub-element
'objects'. So seeing as you need extra markup

Horrible though the span thing is, it does at least leave control

Which is semantically worse, and why?
1. Just manually putting the extra space in the markup.
2. Manually putting an extra inline element around the full stop and
styling said element to create a presentational space.

BarneyThere is effectively no semantic difference. To stop the spread of grey goo on the net, the only semantics we shoud be worried about are those which are picked up by search engines, and a span class=sentence means equally as little as nbsp;nbsp; to these. It is also of little consequence to
As a new member to this list, I can't believe throwing span
class=sentence / around EVERY SENTENCE IN YOUR CONTENT is being
seen as even a remotely valid solution. Is the use of Javascript
frowned upon on this list? Why not use that?

Not a big difference? Unnecessary spans wrapped around every sentence

Have they said why? Or indicated how big a unit a single space is

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply, I'll get in touch off-list for the regex code -
much appreciated. We use PHP to implement CMS for clients so that would
fit well.
Before anyone does leap into print to condemn the practice as old-school
or wrong, I'm not really interested in getting involved
Designer,
Thanks for that. I see what you mean about the space at the end of the
line in para 2, but the content won't be justified on the site so
shouldn't be an issue.

I catch your point Nick, the solution with span class=sentence is
probably the best, but I have to point that using double space after
sentence is completely wrong. It is not “old school”—it is “bad
school”. Jan Tschichold [1] and Robert Bringhurst [2] both wrote in
