Edit Question
Title
Body
In this article the author discusses the use of \@ to put correct spacings after full stops that are not at the end of a sentence e.g. Mr. i.e. etc. The macro suggested \newcommand\etc{etc\@ifnextchar.{}{.\@}} is not quite perfect since in the case (\etc more text) it produces (etc.more text) . I have seen a lot of authors who have made their own versions of the \etc macro, mostly variations on etc.\ . What macros for \etc , \ie , \etal , \eg produce the nicest results in the most situations? Is this something too personal in taste to be solved in general?
