E>I favor the "1: texttext" format over the "1. texttext" format for
E>this arena, although it is nonstandard & violates the rule of Two
E>Spaces After Every Colon from English 101.
I wouldn't use the 1: because it looks like either a line editor or
programming code (to me, anyway).
E>2: I am trying to convince the authors that they really need 2 spaces
E> after a period
I don't agree; leads to "rivers" on the page and in monospaced text it
looks funny, but it's a personal preference.
