The table below lists the twenty-five characters defined as whitespace ("WSpace=Y", "WS") characters in the Unicode Character Database. [1] Seventeen use a definition of whitespace consistent with the algorithm for bidirectional writing ("Bidirectional Character Type=WS") and are known as "Bidi-WS" characters.
In the written form of many languages, indentation describes empty space, a.k.a. white space, used around text to signify an important aspect of the text such as: Beginning of a paragraph; Hierarchy – subordinate concept; Quotation; Many computer languages use block indentation to demarcate blocks of source code.
The Empty Space is a 1968 book by the British director Peter Brook examining four modes or points of view on theatre: Deadly; Holy; Rough; and Immediate.. The book is based on a series of four lectures endowed by Granada Television and delivered at Manchester, Keele, Hull, and Sheffield Universities in England.
A second common application of non-breaking spaces is in plain text file formats such as SGML, HTML, TeX and LaTeX, whose rendering engines are programmed to treat sequences of whitespace characters (space, newline, tab, form feed, etc.) as if they were a single character (but this behavior can be overridden).
In writing, a space is a blank area that separates words, sentences, syllables (in syllabification) and other written or printed glyphs (characters). Conventions for spacing vary among languages, and in some languages the spacing rules are complex.
Whitespace is an esoteric programming language with syntax where only whitespace characters (space, tab and linefeed) have meaning – contrasting typical languages that largely ignore whitespace characters.
In page layout, illustration and sculpture, white space is often referred to as negative space. It is the portion of a page left unmarked: margins , gutters , and space between columns, lines of type, graphics, figures, or objects drawn or depicted, and is not necessarily actually white if the background is of a different colour.
Avoid "fixing" white space issues which are peculiar to your combination of screen, window, and font sizes, your choice of browser, your image settings, and so on. Check with other settings or systems, or ask other editors to check them for you. Avoid "fixes" which break the appearance of the page on mobile devices.
