Using modern word processors, when producing a research paper using MLA or
APA style, there should be only a single space character after a period and
other punctuation marks. By the way, Whenever one presses the period, a
space character of about 1.5 the normal length is placed. In other words,
with the advent of word processors, the older formats for submitting
research papers and such has changed.

Subject: Re: Another formatting question with Braille Touch
The point David is that you want the app to be both as convenient and usable
as possible. In my profession, two spaces after a period is still the
accepted standard for submitting written work. Leaving it to people to
insert extra spaces themselves could lead to confusion especially among
those learning braille who are now having to learn a new set of formatting
rules. By doing nothing, we are in a sense creating a set of conventions
that if you write braille with braille touch, you have to format your
braille as if you were preparing a print text. How does that assist braille
teachers with teaching braille formatting rules?
Just some more thoughts to consider.

Actually, the two spaces after a period rule is changing. Nowadays, many
documents are written with just one space after the period.
My suggestion is that no formatting algorithm be created. Instead, like
with most things, formatting should be the responsibility of the
individual author.

Hello everybody:
there is another difference in formatting between braille and print we
need to account for. In print, two spaces follow a periojd, whereas in
braille it is only one. can we add this into a formatting conversion
algorythm as well? Thank you.
