As an experienced TeX and LaTeX user, I am conscious of the notion of French spacing. The continental Western European and Northern European languages are using a single space after a full period, whereas the North American habit, as well as the the Anglosaxon habit, as far as I understand, is to use double spacing after a full stop. Anyone can observe the same thing in most manual pages, as well as in the kernel documentation. The present template file displays a handful instances of this single spacing, as displayed above. I need advice on how to implement this in any template file.

Description: lightweight HTTP server for static content
This package provides a simple web server for mostly static content,

Example uses include giving HTTP access to the contents of an FTP
site, or exporting some files by quickly starting a web server
without any need to edit configuration files first.
