You mean, no space like this?<br>

This is a sentence.This is also a sentence.Why are there no
spaces here?Who knows.<br>
<br>
For me the docs have single spaces, like this:<br>
<br>
"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."<br>
<br>
<br>
I've never heard of a no-space-after-periods convention, and I
don't think I'd like it if I did :P<br></span>
If there really are no spaces for some users, then it sounds
like a [really wierd] bug imo.<div><div class="h5"><br>

<div>To be more specific as to why: double space
after a period is a carry over from monospaced
type typewriters; computers eliminate this need
because most commonly used fonts are
proportionally spaced. I don't think a
compelling argument can be made that this is
useful because double space is considered
neither good practice nor a common convention.<br>
