don't forget to use your t-square ruler to check the spacing. hahah.

it's not css but jquery (javascript).
var value = $("p.bodytext").text()+"";
value.replace(". ", ". "); // convert doubles to single
value.replace(". ", ". "); // convert singles to double

It's not so bad. Embrace it. It's actually quite a lot of fun.

You can always take it inline with non-breaking spaces.
Find and replace with any punctuation needed.
Replace "." with ". "
Code will look like ass, but just throwing out another (primitive) option.

What akrok said.... tell them know.
This is a carry over from using a typewriter. Yes its very old school.
When type went digital, including on the web the space after a period was adjusted for this.

I think people that use double spaces after periods should be put down. Unless they are typewriting. Or travelling back through time and not wanting to get mistaken for someone from the future.
