Yes, there is: use an HTML entity to avoid the sequence of the period followed by a space. See the example in the [First Sentence](https://www.oracle.com/technical-resources/articles/java/javadoc-tool.html#firstsentence) section in “How to Write Doc Comments for the Javadoc Tool.”

The following should work: `e.g.&#x20;` or `e.g. `. The former uses a regular space, the latter uses a non-breaking space.
