ADDING SPACES IN HTML CSS

All right, let us now get into the ways and examples of adding spaces in HTML and CSS.

1) NON-BREAKING SPACES

Non-breaking   space. 2 non-breaking   spaces. 4 non-breaking   spaces.

2) PARAGRAPHS

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer pretium, lacus non tristique imperdiet, neque magna porttitor enim, eget iaculis erat enim et sapien.
 
Another Paragraph.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer pretium, lacus non tristique imperdiet, neque magna porttitor enim, eget iaculis erat enim et sapien.

This one should be self-explanatory,

creates a paragraph of text and the browser will automatically space out between each paragraph. Although we can also control the distance between each character, word, line, and block – Examples below.

3) LINE BREAKS

 
Line one. 
Line two. 
Line three.
 

By default, the browser will automatically wrap the text according to the width of the paragraph/container. To specifically add a break, use the line break
tag.

4) PRE-FORMATTED TEXT

 
Hello world. This is a pre-formatted text block. Be careful with how you use this. It retains all line breaks and spaces.
 
 
 
Hello world. This is a pre-formatted text block. Be careful with how you use this. It retains all line breaks and spaces.
 
Once again, HTML will strip extra white spaces and ignore line breaks. If you want to retain all the spaces and breaks as-is-is, use a pre-formatted tag instead.
 
5) PADDING & MARGIN – SPACING BETWEEN PARAGRAPHS
 
  
Line.
 
As in the introduction above, we can specify the padding and margin to control the spacing between each paragraph. But instead of leaving you confused on how this actually works, let me introduce the CSS box model:
 
 
 
Yes, nearly every HTML element follows this box model. 
 
 
In the center, we have the contents. This can be the text for 
, video for , image for , etc…
 
The content is surrounded by a layer of padding , followed by the border .
 
Finally, margin is the spacing between each HTML element.
 
 
6) SPACING BETWEEN CHARACTER/TEXT/LINE
 
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
 
 
letter-spacing will specify the space in-between each character .
 
word-spacing will specify the space in-between each word .
 
line-height will specify the space in-between each line of text .

Как изменить расстояние между буквами и словами в CSS?
 
 
Наверняка у каждого из вас возникали ситуации, когда при верстке вам нужно было разместить в блоке какой-либо текст, но он в него не вмещался, или наоборот, был слишком маленьким по объему, и в блоке оставалось слишком много пустого места.
 
Навигация по статье:
 
В таких случаях можно попробовать различные методы выхода из положения. Например, можно поменять размер шрифта, урезать текст или изменить размер блока. Но если ни один из этих вариантов не подходят, то остается только поменять расстояние между буквами и расстояние между словами в CSS.
 
 
Как поменять расстояние между буквами CSS?
 
Чтобы изменить межбуквенный интервал в CSS мы можем использовать свойство letter-spacing. По умолчанию браузеры устанавливают межбуквенный интервал, основываясь на типе выбранного шрифта и его параметров. С помощью данного свойства мы можем задать расстояние между буквами для текста css в конкретном элементе.
 
Свойство letter-spacing может принимать три значения:
 
 
Числовое значение – можно задать интервал в любых доступных для css единицах измерения (px, in, pt, em, ex), а так же можно задавать как положительные, так и отрицательные значения.
 
normal – задает расстояние между буквами css для текста по умолчанию (0.25em)
 
inherit – параметры межбуквенного интервала в css будут наследоваться от родительского элемента.
 
 
Как мы можем его использовать? Например, у меня четыре одинаковых блока с текстом, в оном блоке текст как раз подобран по размеру, а в остальных трех фрагменты текста значительно меньше, но изменить размеры блоков нельзя.
 
 
Для первых трех блоков можно попробовать увеличить расстояние между буквами css, и тем самым сделать его немного объемнее. В файле стилей, для абзацев в классах первых трех элементов пишем следующие свойства:
