word-spacing
The word-spacing
attribute specifies spacing behavior between words.
If a <length>
is provided without a unit identifier (e.g. an unqualified number such as 128), the browser processes the <length> as a width value in the current user coordinate system.
If a <length> is provided with one of the unit identifiers (e.g. .25em or 1%), then the browser converts the <length> into a corresponding value in the current user coordinate system.
Note: As a presentation attribute, word-spacing
can be used as a CSS property. See the CSS word-spacing
property for more information.
