Title: Extra Sentence Space Author: Scott Reilly Published: juin 11, 2009 Last modified: janvier 1, 2020 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/extra-sentence-space/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=820860) This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/extra-sentence-space/assets/icon-128x128.png?rev=972882) # Extra Sentence Space By [Scott Reilly](https://profiles.wordpress.org/coffee2code/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/extra-sentence-space.1.3.9.zip) * [Details](https://tah.wordpress.org/plugins/extra-sentence-space/#description) * [Reviews](https://tah.wordpress.org/plugins/extra-sentence-space/#reviews) * [Installation](https://tah.wordpress.org/plugins/extra-sentence-space/#installation) * [Development](https://tah.wordpress.org/plugins/extra-sentence-space/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/extra-sentence-space/) ## Description Even though you may add two spaces after each sentence when writing a post (assuming you subscribe to a writing style that suggests such spacing) web browsers will collapse consecutive blank spaces into a single space when viewed. This plugin adds a ` `( non-breaking space) after sentence-ending punctuation to retain the appearance of your two-space intent. NOTE: The plugin will only enforce the two-space gap in places where two or more spaces actually separate sentences in your posts. It will NOT insert a second space if only one space is present.

Typically, these customizations would be put into your active theme’s functions.php file, or used by another plugin. **c2c_extra_sentence_space** The ‘c2c_extra_sentence_space’ filter allows you to use an alternative approach to safely invoke `c2c_extra_sentence_space()` in such a way that if the plugin were deactivated or deleted, then your calls to the function won’t cause errors in your site. This only applies if you use the function directly, which is not typical usage for most users. Example: Instead of: ``` ``` Do: ``` ``` **c2c_extra_sentence_space_punctuation** The ‘c2c_extra_sentence_space_punctuation’ filter allows you to customize the punctuation, characters, and/or symbols after which double-spacing (when present) is preserved. By default these are ‘.!?’. Arguments: * $punctuation (string): The default characters after which double-spacing should be preserved. Default is ‘.!?’. Example: ``` /** * Modifies the list of characters after which two spaces should be preserved * to include a forward slash. * * @param string $punctuation The punctuation. * @return string */ function more_extra_space_punctuation( $punctuation ) { // Add the '/' and ')' characters to the list of characters return $punctuation . '/)'; } add_filter( 'c2c_extra_sentence_space_punctuation', 'more_extra_space_punctuation' ); ``` ## Installation 1. Install via the built-in WordPress plugin installer. Or download and unzip `extra- sentence-space.zip` inside the plugins directory for your site (typically `wp-content/ plugins/`) 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ admin menu in WordPress 3. Begin (or continue) to use two spaces to separate your sentences when writing a post. ## FAQ What text does this plugin modify (aka filter)? This plugin potentially modifies the post content, excerpt, title, comment text, and widget text. Why do my sentences still appear to be separated by only one space despite the plugin being active? Did you use two spaces to separate the sentences when you wrote the post? This plugin only retains the appearance of those two spaces when the post is viewed in a browser; it does not insert a second space if there wasn’t one originally present. Can I enforce double-spacing after other types of punctuation? Yes. See the Filters section for an example of the code you’ll need to use. Does this plugin include unit tests? Yes. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3397165e70e93cf935eae7f8f3df8f071b98268c4033f45bf45f0047feb032c8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Does NOTHING](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-nothing-81/)󠁿 [jasonbear](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jasonbear/) août 18, 2018 I exported my Wordpress 4.9.8 database, added 2 spacebar clicks after all end-of- sentence punctuation marks, and imported. Well, this plugin does nothing. Complete waste of time. Either fix this thing or remove it! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/16646a7b5429fb6935d0687d3cc385a38cf67447578a45891ee7f47da582eed7? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-3013/)󠁿 [creed3](https://profiles.wordpress.org/creed3/) septembre 3, 2016 It simply works!
