Initials etc in author names, is there a standard for using period?
I'm just wondering if there is a standard for author initials etc and names like St Amant etc.

Should the initials have a period after them. Should it be St. Amant or St Amant.

I'm trying to standardize but when I download the metadata sometimes the same source will give two different treatments for initials and abbreviations for different books by same author.
