Here's a link that deals with the issue. It gives a decent set of cases for programmatically identifying whether a period ends a sentence. http://bulba.sdsu.edu/~malouf/ling571/17handout.pdf Jay Bryant Bryant Communication Services Torsten Bronger <bronger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 12/28/2004 09:08 AM Please respond to xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx cc Subject Re: [xsl] end-of-sentence full stop in XSL:FO?

This distinction in made by TeX, and I write an XML to LaTeX converter. I need a way to preserve the end-of-sentence information in the XML markup. There are a couple of ways of course, all of which more or less inelegant. I just want to know whether there is already a way to express that, so that I avoid re-inventing it.
