Synonyms:
- Sentence spacing
Sentence spacing is the space between the full stop (AmE: period) and the next sentence. Single sentence spacing should be used throughout Radiopaedia to ensure consistency.
Examples
This is an example of a correct sentence. Another sentence follows it.
A stylistically-incorrect sentence has two spaces between sentences. The double space between this sentence and the one before does not therefore conform to the recommended Radiopaedia style!
