Exactly. A good typesetting system will leave more inter-sentence space than inter-word spacing, but this has nothing to do with the number of ASCII 0x20 symbols after the full stop (period) at the end of the sentence.
- bhaak 8y agoBut what typesetting system has a way of marking up sentence endings? Because you can rely on the period being that as e.g. this sentence has one in the middle of the sentence.
