[atomics.types.operations]/20 Awkward "E.g." at start of sentence #2555
Comments
It's entirely possible that capital "E.g." isn't recognised as a magic
exception and sentence spacing is applied afterwards. The space should be
escaped like `E.g.\ `.

Some thoughts:
- The space between "E.g." and "list" seems a bit wide, is it possible
LaTeX is generating a sentence-space? Should maybe "\ " be used? (Or maybe
even "~", to prevent a line break.)
- In the vast majority of cases, the document actually has a comma
after "e.g.". Maybe that's the way to go here, too?
- Starting a sentence with the "e.g." abbreviation could be considered
poor style to begin with. Maybe nicer to just say "For example,"

Ok cool, does that also apply to the space between "P.J." and "Plauger" at Line 638 in 1dc0c7d

Yes, very much so. Any mid-sentence period is suspect. (I think exceptions
exist for some well-known forms.)

Ok great, thanks! I'll make a patch. This will help cxxdraft-htmlgen's sentence-splitting, too. |
