Huh?
You mean, no space like this?
This is a sentence.This is also a sentence.Why are there no spaces
here?Who knows.
For me the docs have single spaces, like this:
"Many factors go into the quality of the rendered image. Rendering
a scene without changing any of the render settings is probably
going to produce a rather unpleasant image."
I've never heard of a no-space-after-periods convention, and I don't
think I'd like it if I did :P
If there really are no spaces for some users, then it sounds like a bug imo.
