I have just downloaded Amaya 5.1. A comment/query... In English it is customary to place two spaces after a period at the end of a sentence. However, current HTML browsers generally squeeze spaces into a single space, so a paragraph like this one would be displayed with only one space between sentences. Some current WYSIWYG HTML editors cover for this by changing the first space to a non-breaking space ( ). This forces the browser to display two spaces. I noticed that Amaya will change the NBSP-SP sequence into two regular spaces. That is to say, if I read in a document with the NBSP-SP sequence and then save it again the sequence is changed to SP-SP. Hmmm... I admit, there may be some change to the HTML specification to cover for this somehow and I just don't know about it. Or perhaps Amaya has this behavior for some other reason to which I am not privy. So I'm not claiming this is a bug, I just would like to know the reasoning. Thanks, Marc M. Adkins
