Normalising spacing


\normalsfcodes

This command should be used to restore the normal settings of the parameters that affect spacing between words, sentences, etc.

An important use of this feature is to correct a problem, reported by Donald Arseneau, that punctuation in page headers has always (in all known TEX formats) been potentially wrong whenever a page break happens while a local setting of the space codes is in effect. These space codes are changed by, for example, the command verb|frenchspacing|) and the verbatim environment.

It is normally given the correct definition automatically in \begin{document} and so need not be explicitly set; however, if it is explicitly made nonempty in a class file then automatic default setting will be over-ridden.
