like etc.\ are the common culprits)---then type a backslash followed by
a space after the period, as in this sentence.

backslash) except as directed!  The following seven are printed by
typing a backslash in front of them:  \$  \&  \#  \%  \_  \{  and  \}.  
The manual tells how to make other symbols.
