So, with all due apologies, I = shall presume on your patience by restating my query. In (English) typography the spacing after a period within a sentence = is less that that after a period at the end of a sentence. Since the = days of Plain TeX, one achieved the proper spacing after an intra- = sentence period by entering =93.\=94. My problem is that this no = longer seems to work with recent versions of ConTeXt/MKII: =93.\=94 = does not seem to have any effect at all. So, how are we now to get the proper spacing after an intra-sentence = period? Are there some language/spacing commands that need to be = invoked in the prelims now? Sample text: \starttext A. E.
