As I recall, most often it would go like this: the close of an italics tag, followed by a non-breaking space, followed by the next character. Usually this caused no problem, but sometimes it glued the end of one sentence to the start of the next, with possible ill effects to the justification of the paragraph.

There weren't as many as I thought--maybe twelve or fifteen in a lengthy book.

Anyhow, I deleted them, adding an actual space where necessary, and the book is the better for it.

(The html, by the way, was created by word2cleanhtml online. Perhaps that's where the non-breaks came from?)

Thank you all!
