A string of text that meets the following criteria:

  • Ends with a period, question mark, or exclamation mark.
  • Is followed by one or more ASCII white space characters (9 through 0xd and 0x20), or the Unicode paragraph separator (0x2029). The trailing white space is part of the sentence.
  • The last sentence in a story does not need to have a period, question mark, or exclamation mark.
  • Other sentences must follow a sentence end and cannot begin with a period, question mark, or exclamation mark.
  • The start of a story qualifies as the start of a Sentence, even if the string there doesn't qualify as a sentence grammatically.
