    Here is a complicated regexp which was formerly used by Emacs to
  recognize the end of a sentence together with any whitespace that
! follows.  It was used as the variable @code{sentence-end}.  (Its value
! nowadays contains alternatives for @samp{.}, @samp{?} and @samp{!} in
! other character sets.)
  
    First, we show the regexp as a string in Lisp syntax to distinguish
  spaces from tab characters.  The string constant begins and ends with a

  The first part of the pattern is a character alternative that matches
  any one of three characters: period, question mark, and exclamation
  mark.  The match must begin with one of these three characters.  (This
! is the one point where the new value of @code{sentence-end} differs
! from the old.  The new value also lists sentence ending
! address@hidden characters.)

  @defvar sentence-end
! This is the regular expression describing the end of a sentence.  (All
! paragraph boundaries also end sentences, regardless.)  The (slightly
! simplified) default value is:
! 
! @example
! "[.?!][]\"')@}]*\\($\\| $\\|\t\\|@ @ \\)[ \t\n]*"
! @end example
! 
! This means a period, question mark or exclamation mark (the actual
! default value also lists their alternatives in other character sets),
! followed optionally by closing parenthetical characters, followed by
! tabs, spaces or new lines.
! 
! For a detailed explanation of this regular expression, see @ref{Regexp
! Example}.

  @defvar sentence-end
! If address@hidden, the value should be a regular expression describing
! the end of a sentence, including the whitespace following the
! sentence.  (All paragraph boundaries also end sentences, regardless.)
! 
! If the value is @code{nil}, the default, then the function
! @code{sentence-end} has to construct the regexp.  That is why you
! should always call the function @code{sentence-end} to obtain the
! regexp to be used to recognize the end of a sentence.
