Newlines in @w and sentence ends

[Gavin Smith]

Hi Patrice and Karl,

I've working on the paragraph formatter in C and I have a question:
should a newline after an end sentence character within a @w be
recognized as an end of sentence and be doubled to two spaces?

With the following input:

@w{a. b.  c.
d. e.}

I get the following output:

a. b.  c.  d. e.

(This was tested with makeinfo 6.0.) As you can see the spaces after
the full stops are preserved: it is only the unusual case when a
newline appears after a full stop that the end sentence detection is
meaningful.

For contrast, the output of

@w{a. b.  C.
d. e.}

is

a. b.  C. d. e.

I think that a single space character could well appear after the "c."
or "C." in both cases.

I will quite likely have some more questions about paragraph formatting soon.

Thanks,
Gavin
