My mistake. I thought browsers do, but can't find any evidence to support that belief, so I am likely wrong. However, it should be logically possible to distinguish *most* end-of-sentence periods from *most* other periods (see if the letter following the space following the period is a capital, and then check the letters before the period to see if they match those abbreviations (like courtesy titles, or the Ph. in Ph.D., U.S. in U.S.A., etc.) most likely to end in periods and be followed by a capital, etc.). ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Russell" <ve3ll@rac.ca> To: <www-amaya@w3.org> Sent: Monday, August 13, 2001 11:10 AM Subject: sentence spacing > Could the contributer that said browsers do spacing after sentences > please reference the browsers that do this.
