Hi, perhaps in the legal world it's still used, but everywhere else, 2
spaces after a period is not used. Why not just do it yourself is 2
spaces are warranted? Why should this be built into the app? I guess I
don't understand where you are coming from.

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.
