Glossary Term

word-spacing

3 tags 1 category

The word-spacing CSS property sets the spacing between words and between tags.

Values: This property is specified as the keyword normal or a <length-percentage>:

Values: normal The normal inter-word spacing, as defined by the current font and/or the browser. length-percentage Specifies extra spacing in addition to the intrinsic inter-word spacing defined by the font. Percentage values are calculated relative to the font-size of the text.

A large positive or negative word-spacing value will make the sentences the styling is applied to unreadable. For text styled with a very large positive value, the words will be so far apart that it will no longer appear to be a sentence. For text styled with a large negative value, the words can overlap each other to the point where the beginning and end of each word is unrecognizable.

Syntax example: word-spacing: normal;
