+ | xpunctuate: a package to add punctuation, e.g. to |
+ | abbreviations, as and when necessary |
+ | (along the lines of xspace). |
+ | |
+ | Philip G. Ratcliffe - version 2.0 (2023/08/13) |
+ --------------------------------------------------------
+
+* 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 \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.
+
+Change history:
+v2.0 overhauled all user commands, introduced \NewDocumentCommand,
+ added \xspaceafter.
+v1.0 first official release.
