| xpunctuate: a package to add punctuation, e.g. to | abbreviations, as and when necessary |

——————————————————–

• LaTeX xpunctuate.ins to produce xpunctuate.sty

• Copy xpunctuate.sty to one of your TeX input directories.

• LaTeX xpunctuate.dtx for usage instructions and documentation.

This is the first revision of the "xpunctuate" package; it defines commands for typesetting, e.g., abbreviations where the trailing period may clash with a sentence terminator. More precisely it avoids the natural problem of definitions such as defetc{emph{etc}.}, which may then cause double periods if used at the end of sentences, such as ... cats, dogs etc. It also deals with optional commas, which again may be rendered unnecessary by the presence of a following sentence terminator.

Change history: v2.0 overhauled all user commands, introduced NewDocumentCommand, added xspaceafter. v1.0 first official release.
