> Can Emacs be smartish about sentence-end spacing? look at the periods and spaces between sentences in a paragraph and interpret according to use which is common in the wild wild web.
It would need some statistical analysis of the text and guesswork
based on that, but I don't see why that would be impossible. Patches
welcome.
> If I do according to the suggestion won’t I miss out on double space endings between sentences?
No, but you might "acquire" sentences where there are none, such as 3
