Hi, in TeX and LaTeX, the width of the glue (blank space) after a "." can be one of two different values, depending on the context. There is always a longer space between sentences than after a "." that doesn't mark the end of a sentence (abbreviations, dates, etc.). Since TeX/LaTeX usually can't recognize the latter case by itself, one can help out by writing ".\ " or ".~" explicitly to enforce a short space. Without these hints, printed output will look typographically wrong.
Org-mode export doesn't allow me to easily include these hints without affecting readability and export to other formats. Therefore I ask that LaTeX export places ". " or ".\ " in the output automatically depending on the context: - If, in the source, the "." precedes a double space " " or a newline, use ". ". - In any other case, use ".\ ". The reason this would work is the Emacs convention of writing ASCII such that there is at least one more space (at least two) between sentences. I believe that the Emacs fill-* functions also make use of this convention. Thanks, András
