"Mandate," I think that's a bit strong. I just spoke with my husband's
sister who writes court reports as a part of her work. She said that double
spacing is not mandated. In other words, a single or double space after a
period ultimately makes no difference and is probably more legacy structure
than anything.

Jonathan, that is not the practice that is used in the legal profession,
hence my earlier statement. Our rules of court still mandate two spaces
after a period.

Hi Bob, putting two spaces after a full stop/period was dropped quite some
time ago. The convention now is not to do it.

The point David is that you want the app to be both as convenient and
usable as possible. In my profession, two spaces after a period is still
the accepted standard for submitting written work. Leaving it to people
to insert extra spaces themselves could lead to confusion especially
among those learning braille who are now having to learn a new set of
formatting rules. By doing nothing, we are in a sense creating a set of
conventions that if you write braille with braille touch, you have to
format your braille as if you were preparing a print text. How does that
assist braille teachers with teaching braille formatting rules?
Just some more thoughts to consider.

Actually, the two spaces after a period rule is changing. Nowadays, many
documents are written with just one space after the period.
My suggestion is that no formatting algorithm be created. Instead, like
with most things, formatting should be the responsibility of the
individual author.

Hello everybody:
there is another difference in formatting between braille and print we
need to account for. In print, two spaces follow a periojd, whereas in
braille it is only one. can we add this into a formatting conversion
algorythm as well? Thank you.
