Extended Description
Even though you may add two spaces after each sentence when writing a post (assuming you subscribe to a writing style that suggests such spacing) web browsers will collapse consecutive blank spaces into a single space when viewed. This plugin adds a
(non-breaking space) after sentence-ending punctuation to retain the appearance of your two-space intent.NOTE: The plugin will only enforce the two-space gap in places where two or more spaces actually separate sentences in your posts.
Installation
Download the file extra-sentence-space.zip and unzip it into your wp-content/plugins/ directory. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ admin menu in WordPress. Begin (or continue) to use two spaces to separate your sentences when writing a post.-
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What text does this plugin modify (aka filter)?
A: This plugin potentially modifies the post content, excerpt, title, and comment text.
Q: Why do my sentences still appear to be separated by only one space despite the plugin being active?
A: Did you use two spaces to separate the sentences when you wrote the post? This plugin only retains the appearance of those two spaces when the post is viewed in a browser; it does not insert a second space if there wasn’t a second space originally present.
