According to CSTR 54
'An input line ending with ., ?, or !, [...] is taken to
be the end of a sentence, and an additional space character
is automatically provided during filling.'
(Section 4.1)
This (rather old-fashioned) practice of adding extra space after sentences
is sometimes unwanted. The suggested method to prevent it is to add \& to
the end of the input line, but this is impossible when processing text
automatically and undesirable even with manual editing.
Is there a way to disable the extra space character after sentences
completely?
Best regards,
