There is no double-space on the web; it's ignored as you've found. The only
way I've seen to do it is with the non-breaking space as you have below
(sentence1. sentence2...). You may even be able to get away with
sentence1. sentence2. Try doing two-space sentences in any WYSIWYG
editor and they'll do the same thing.
Screen reading isn't like paper reading; there's a reason for single spaces.

Subject: [thelist] double space between sentences
I just had a request that I put double spaces between sentences and
started replying that it's not a good idea because the only way to do
it will cause the first character of some lines to me a space ...
something I'd always assumed ... but I tried some text with:
. _ (where the _ is actually a space)
and I can't get a browser to put a space at the beginning of a line.
Is there a reason not to do this? In other words, are there browsers
that WILL put an unintended space at the beginning of a line?
How come I never see text on the web that does this? Am I just not noticing
it?
