[Ham-Mac] Space after a Period

[Dick Kriss]

I just noticed the text editor in this MS Entourage mail program does not
add extra space after a period at the end of a sentence.  I have to remember
the old High School typing class rule to manually enter two spaces after a
period.  I wonder what happened to the old typing rule?

I was under the impression that modern word processors and text editors all
added some extra space after a period.

The reason for bring it up is I noticed the extra spaces I added in my web
page html do not show up unless I manually add the    (IIRC "nbsp" =
"non-breaking space") after a period.  I am pretty sure html ignores all
extra spaces. I use a text editor called TexEdit Plus for all web page html
formatting.  

Life was easy back in 1986 when we only had to deal with Mac Write and it
would always add an extra half space after a period.
