+1.
I'm dying to know why it's such a big deal, and before you ask, I've spent a lifetime being pissed-off at bad grammar and punctuation, amongst other things. Why are you so het up about the single space versus double space? And you do realize that in HTML, no one can hear your double-spaces scream? I mean, REALLY: if you put:
Code:
space-space-space-space-space
In a line of text, it will render with a single space? Not 5 spaces? HTML, she no like de extra spaces. In Sigil, what it will do is create something akin to this:
And then what happens is that you have an inadvertent non-breaking space clinging like a hairy puppy or kitten cling-on to the beginning of your next sentence. If it breaks, it will look odd, as you'll have that space sitting there. Really: you might want to give this some thought. If you have a real need for horizontal whitespace, there are probably better ways to achieve it, and you can, if you feel you must, do the search-and-replace that everyone here told you about...but again:
it will not render that way on any reading device that I've ever seen.
So: what's the skinny?
