Quick Question on Punctuation

How does h2g2 stand on double spaces after full stops? I have been using &  (pardon the double & there, if it shows as such) to attain this in my pages. Of course, after being run through once, these all disappear, but the double spaces remain. Have these been incorporated into the GuideML parsing engine now? Should Sub-editors add them to pages they edit?

Okay, that didn't work either.. what I meant to say was I've been using & nbsp ; (without the spaces, of course smiley - winkeye) to get double spacing between sentences.

Hi 'Nonnie!

We don't use double spaces in approved entries. We're not taking them out because, well, it doesn't matter, as they won't appear anyway!
