Sentence spacing in language and style guides
(詳細はHistorical style guides before the 20th century typically indicated that wider spaces were to be used between sentences.〔University of Chicago Press 1911 ''The Chicago Manual of Style''. p. 101.〕 Standard word spaces were about one-third of an em space, but sentences were to be divided by a full em-space. With the arrival of the typewriter in the late 19th century, style guides for writers began diverging from printer's manuals, indicating that writers should double-space between sentences. This held for most of the 20th century until the computer began replacing the typewriter as the primary means of creating text. In the 1990s, style guides reverted to recommending a single-space between sentences. However, instead of a slightly larger sentence space, style guides simply indicated a standard word space. This is now the convention for publishers.
Style guides are important to writers since "virtually all professional editors work closely with one of them in editing a manuscript for publication."〔Stevenson 2005. p. viii.〕 Comprehensive style guides, such as the ''Oxford Style Manual'' in the United Kingdom and style guides developed by the American Psychological Association, and the Modern Language Association in the United States, provide standards for a wide variety of writing, design, and English language topics—such as grammar, punctuation, and typographic conventions—and are widely used regardless of political
Many style guides do not provide guidance on sentence spacing. In some cases, the spacing of the volume or work itself provides an indication on the recommendation for usage of sentence spacing.〔
*〕 A lack of guidance on sentence spacing is also notable for style guides in languages which did not adopt double sentence spacing to accommodate the mechanical limitations of the typewriter, and which conform to the current convention for published work, single sentence spacing.〔Felici 2003. p. 81; Strizver 2010; ; ; Williams 2003. p. 14.〕 Most language guides for languages with prescriptive guidance provided by an academy also do not provide advice on sentence spacing.
