| xpunctuate: a package to add punctuation, e.g. to |
| abbreviations, as and when necessary |
| (along the lines of xspace). |

* Copy xpunctuate.sty to one of your TeX input directories.
* LaTeX xpunctuate.dtx for usage instructions and documentation.
This is the first public release 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 \def\etc{\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.

xpunctuate – Process trailing punctuation which may be redundant
The package provides commands that enable the user (or package
writer) to insert punctuation after the macro. The method is
similar to that of xspace, but goes
further.
The package provides the commands \xperiod,
\xcomma and \xperiodcomma, which follow a
similar procedure to that of \xspace, and insert
punctuation if and only if it is necessary.
