American English demands a comma after i.e.; in British English comma does not follow i.e. 1
Opinion is mixed about whether the abbreviation should be italicized, or whether there should be a separating non-breaking space as in i. e..
ie: is often found in current usage, and is perhaps now considered acceptable.
