Here's a little script that might help this issue.
It takes the element with the id of "content" and adds an extra white space

This way, the code is still clean and you can have your whitespace cake and
eat it too!  :o)


Richard,

I see the problem as not so much where the periods are, but where the sentences begin in prose dotted with abbreviations, n'est ce pas? Your script commits the double misdemeanor of assuming that every period ends a sentence and forgetting about all that other punctuation that so often -- but not always! -- ends a sentence.
