b. Very important opinions on typography
Regular texts should be justified, i.e. marginated both on the left and the right. The era of the typewriter is over!
Lay-out-destroying operations such as double spacing should be avoided at all times. It not only looks awful, double spacing also makes it harder to survey the contents of a paper, it often causes glosses or translations of examples to spill over to the next page, etc. And it's a waste of paper, too. Editors of this world, I've reviewed many papers, and I really hate it. Please stop forcing authors to mess up their manuscripts.
Full example sentences should end with a full stop (if that is customary in the orthography of the language at issue). It is simply inconsistent to maintain the initial capital, maintain intermediate interpunction such as commas, and then suddenly delete the final stop.
It's usually better not to indent example sentences (if they are surrounded by white space), since preventing them to spill over to the next line is what is most important.
