[Mediawiki-l] TinyMCE

[Steve VanSlyck]

Lack of double spaces between sentences is the standard publication 
protocol for publications using variable-spaced type. The pre-eminent 
authority is the Chicago Manual of Style. For the authoritative answer 
on this question, see

.

Pick up and examine any _professionally_ published book, magazine, or 
newspaper and you won't find double spaces, nor will you find commas or 
periods standing outside the double quotes.

It is definitely not "webism," which repeats, over and over again, the 
worst mistakes of common English grammar and punctuation.
