General ⇒ Extra space after punctuation

[meho_r]

LaTeX leaves extra space after punctuation, at the sentence end, which sometimes looks pretty bad (like a hole ). I know there's a way to regulate this, but I've forgotten how Anyone?

Just put

Code: Select all

\frenchspacing

in the preamble (before \begin{document}).

Thanks. But I didn't mean to suppress spacing in all places in doc, only those that are too big. Generally, spacing after punctuation is good, about one-and-half or two regular spaces. But, if LaTeX can't find suitable place to hyphenate some words (especially if a line contain several 'bigger' words), it'll simply enlarge space after sentence end and that often doesn't look good (sometimes about 3-4 regular spaces). I used to manually correct this issue, but 'manually' in LaTeX can be veeeery painful
