I dislike that convention (starting sentences on new lines) because it
violates centuries of established typographical tradition. Instead I
insert two or three spaces before {i}. The extra whitespace serves
as a visual cue to the sentence boundaries, while at the same time
respecting typographical tradition and keeping violations of
audiovisual isomorphism to a minimum.
