It's the other way around (at least in the Tex(info) world). \frenchspacing suppresses extra end-of-sentence space whereas \nonfrenchspacing (the default) puts extra space after punctuation in typeset output. > Er, it may be that texinfo, or the documentation, has a standard > that I didn't spot, or that was changed when I hit M-q to reformat a > paragraph; my Emacs is set to single-space after sentence mode. The standard in Texinfo is to use two spaces after a period: enter a period as you would if you were using a typewriter, which means you put two spaces after the period, question mark, or exclamation mark that ends a sentence. -- Jesper Harder
