	Space (punctuation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A space is a punctuation convention for providing interword separation in some scripts, including the Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and Arabic.
		Spaces were not used to separate words until roughly 600–800 AD.
		In computers, a space is represented by a space character.

		Nevertheless, they display two key problems: punctuation is implied as a separate category from space; and the experiences of the eye and ear -- although validly seen as simultaneous and interrelated -- are discussed primarily as effects of "letters" and not of space, lineation, and other forms of punctuation.
		Brita Lindberg also characterizes Dickinson's punctuation along conventional lines, finding that although Dickinson's "marks" vary greatly in slant and position, they may be "profitably reduce[d to] the ones adopted by the Harvard edition: the question mark, the exclamation point, the period, the comma, and the dash" (354).
		Scholarship on Dickinson's punctuation limits itself in two key ways: by defining punctuation along conventional, bibliographic lines, and by presenting it as an effect on the eye or the ear, but not on both at the same time.

		Space between words is a segmental unit: like the punctuation marks, it occupies the whole of one position in linear sequence.
		Punctuation outside the parentheses depends on the requirements of the containing sentence: it is the same as it would be if the parenthesised element were omitted.
		We have emphasised that punctuation cannot be regarded as a means of representing the prosodic properties of utterances, but there is no doubt that there is some significant degree of correlation between the use of delimiting commas and the likelihood that the constituent concerned would be set apart prosodically in speech.

	Punctuation handout.html
		The punctuation that indicates intonation (rising for a question mark, emphatic for an exclamation point) goes inside or outside of quotation marks depending on whether the intonation applies to the quoted words or the sentence of which the quoted words are part.
		There are six kinds of punctuation used with quotation marks: (1) comma and period, (2) question mark and exclamation point, (3) semicolon and colon.
		Punctuation is also not the same in all languages.

	Punctuation Puzzles
		With new punctuation rules (such as the comma or period inside the quotation marks), we are confused.
		Answer: Semicolons punctuate series of clauses or phrases with internal punctuation: for instance, a phrase or clause that uses commas; a group of words, such as apples, oranges, and bananas; and other examples, such as a series of independent clauses.
		This confusion and resulting disagreements about the number of spaces have a recent date.

	Chicago Manual of Style - Q & A - Punctuation
		Although the British agree with you and punctuate accordingly, the time-honored convention in American-style punctuation is to put the period inside the quotation marks.
		Chicago style discourages the use of italics for emphasis and forbids multiple punctuation; both are rarely appropriate in scholarly writing.
		Typesetting software often adds a hair space automatically, and a whole word space is way too much, so don’t type in an extra space.

	johnaugust.com » Fixing double-spaces after periods
		I’ve always double-spaced after any punctuation but commas (except for starting a quote which gets one space after the comma but before the parenthese).
		In programs that allow it, a technically-savvy wordsmith could use regular expressions to do all of this in one step, matching the period only in cases where it is followed by exactly one space.
		Modern typefaces are designed to look best with a single space after the period which ends a sentence.

		Sometimes, a space may be at each end as is always the case with a dash.
		The rule should be that punctuation, any punctuation, that's part of what's quoted goes inside and that punctuation, any punctuation, that's part of the wrapping sentence goes outside.
		The ellipsis may lead from the word ended down into the space or, at other times, it may lead up out of the space and attach to the new word.

	Bill Hill - There is only one space after a period
		Additionally, two spaces provides the same differentiating effect with respect to the comma, which is a very visually similar punctuation.
		Otherwise, one space is the way to go as proportional fonts are designed to use the appropriate amount of space required by each character.
		That HTML automatically compresses two (or more) spaces into one is not the technical equivalent to having two spaces after a period on a typewriter.

	A List Apart: Articles: The Trouble With EM ’n EN (and Other Shady Characters)
		Others prefer to insert hair spaces on either side of the em dash, but this is problematic with some web browsers (see the section on spaces for more detail).
		Both are visibly wider than a normal space, and once again, Arial Unicode MS is the only mainstream font that includes both, even though they are part of the official HTML 4.01 specification.
		But if it indicates that the thought or quote is just trailing off at the end of a sentence, then only the ellipsis is used, to clarify that no words from a quotation were omitted, as would be the case if the additional period were there.

		Leave a space when the symbol is all letters (45 kg), but no space if a non-letter is used 32°C, Can$10.

	Only One Space!
		Proportional spacing means that each character only occupies the amount of space that it needs; and that space is proportional to the space occupied by other characters.
		Thus the single space between sentences is enough to visually separate them, and two spaces creates a disturbing gap.
		Because the characters are monospaced, you must insert two spaces after periods to separate one sentence from the next.

	Style Guide University of Colorado at Boulder
		In General Use only one space after end punctuation (periods, exclamation points, question marks) and after colons and semicolons.
		With question marks and exclamation points, it depends: If the punctuation is part of the quotation, put it inside the quotation marks; if it's not part of the quotation, put it outside.
		Traditionally, in all uses except most newspapers (and in some display typography, such as headlines), a dash is set without a space on either side.
