I have this existential question which pollutes my mind since I started translation in the Inkscape project: is it so common to write two spaces between a full stop/period and the sentence that follows in English prose? Or is it the fault of shaking fingers with the use of the ‘double-space becomes period then space’ feature with a mobile touch keyboard? I often saw those two spaces on the Inkscape website, enough to be able to think it can be a wished rule. What is the reason?
Unless you insert a no-breaking-space ( ) into the document, all spaces in html are counted as one space. The wysiwyg editor is the only thing capable of inserting anything more.
Rule wise, two spaces are not needed, we can always recode two spaces formatting via code we want it later. A single space should be enough.
