Hey guys... was wondering if you placed one or two spaces between sentences in a paragraph on the web? If you use two-spaces, what do you type in your XHTML to do this? Thanks!

One space is now considered proper, and has always been the norm for online writing. Two spaces is still acceptable in print, though both versions are considered fine.

or you could use 1.5 just to be in the middle! :)

You could use the CSS tag, line-spacing.

Would have to go with 1.5 spacing. Seems the most fitting to be honest.

line-spacing in css??? I am not seeing this in the w3c. Can you confirm the use of this?

the_pm... if you were to want to use 2 spaces after a sentence... how would you go about? Thanks!

The two-space convention developed when business writing was done with typewriters, which meant fixed character spacing. Today it's rare for online text to be presented in a fixed-width or monospaced font. Unless you're using one of those it's not necessary to put in the extra space, because a flexible width font should already place sufficient space after the period.

Use a regular space, followed by a non-breaking space (nbsp). There's a CSS style that allows you to put space after certain content, I believe. It's supported by all browsers, except for IE. So, you could create a style whereby every "." was followed by 2em of padding, or something like that. I'll see if I can find it :)
