While solving a little bug on a website caused by a non-breaking space ( ) I was wondering if there's an opposite.
Is there an HTML code for a breaking space, and if so, what is it?
I saw mention in this question about a zero-width space (), but that won't give any width (obviously).
Does an HTML entity exist for a regular space?
is a regular space (by its numeric ASCII value).
If you are using HTML and you would like more than one space to to appear, will not work. The unfortunate part about is it does not wrap properly because it is a non-breaking space.
For those that reached here looking for a solution, try the CSS
white-space: pre-wrap;
This will allow you to have multiple spaces side by side in a single line. It works great for chat programs.
There are multiple html entities for regular white space, which allow breaking, for instance
Read this article for more information: https://www.codetd.com/en/article/6915972
There may be other blank entities (which won't compact to a single) but there is another workaround for doing some padding but still having some wrapping occur as required:
Use the "ZeroWidthSpace" html entity and alternate with either "nbsp" for clarity or simply a space character.

I have a div and a textarea exactly overlapped, I type in the textarea and that text is converted to spans that have varying text colors (syntax highlighting) and are then shown in the div, so it looks like you're typing in the div, but you're actually typing in the transparent textarea. At the moment I simply put a space between the spans where a space exists in the text input, but if I add more spaces in series it doesn't work (only one will show). So I tried using instead of spaces but I was surprised to find out the width of it is different from regular spaces. What is the point of then?
To the point, how can I add spaces that have the same width as regular spaces if doesn't?
And here's an example of what should be two exactly matching lines (but aren't).
<span>Hello</span> <span>World</span>
<span>Hello</span> <span>World</span>
Note: I'm using the font "FontinSmallCaps", it's possible that's the reason for the discrepancy, but I am not willing to do away with it. Would rather filter the user input to never have two consecutive spaces. Although that would be a last resort.
If anything is unclear or needs elaboration, let me know.
Thanks in advance!
Not exactly sure of your HTML structure, but whatever wraps the HTML you have shown could have white-space: pre set, then the spaces will all remain. No need to convert them.
<div style="white-space:pre"><span style="white-space: pre;">Hello</span> <span>World</span></div>
is Non-breaking space and the other is considered as normal string by browser. A non-breaking space means that the line should not be wrapped at that point, just like it wouldn’t be wrapped in the middle of a word. are also non-collapsing, that's probably the most significant aspect of their use (at least, that's how I tend to use them, pad stuff out, quick and easy)
I am using an html template to send emails programatically. I know nothing about html, but I've just learned that it will collapse consecutive white space characters, which ruins my formatting(I am emailing a table of numbers). How can I solve this problem?
Just use <pre> tag like so:
<pre>
This is some text with some extra spacing and a
few newlines
thrown in
for good
measure
</pre>
Working Example: jsFiddle
and a Good reference on pre tag.
If you don't want consecutive spaces to collapse. Just set CSS property white-space.
e.g.:
white-space: pre;
<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span>

Well, you can use the metacharacter to produce a "non-breaking space." (I used one in-between these two sentences. But I didn't use one here. Notice how the spacing between these sentences is slightly different, and how the last space is twice as wide because I used two tags?)
Fundamentally, I suggest that you should be using <table> tags within your e-mail body, thus identifying the data as "tabular" and giving you a rich array of options (styles, etc ...) for formatting it. It will look much better than anything you could do by means of "ASCII Art ..."
Why to use this in the code while coding?

How to display text exactly in the center, with equal distance from all the sides?
This code is used to apply a space within your code, you may have noticed when writing HTML, if you leave a massive pile of spaces between two words, the browser ignores it, and therefore thats when
is needed.
If you want to center text, there is a number of ways you can do this, the best way is probably to use the CSS rule:
text-align: center;

is an HTML entity encoding a non-breaking space. If you separate two words with , web browsers will not split the words over two lines.
  is almost always a typo.
People frequently use with normal spaces to add extra horizontal whitespace.
There are other posts covering how to centre text vertically and horizontally - see https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=vertically+horizontally+centered+text for a range of answers.
is a html ascii character. It represents a space.
When you add multiple spaces after each other in html they will be truncated and only one will be displayed in the rendered page. when you use all spaces are rendered on the page.
I can not remember what it was that was basically blank, but also worked as a space. It's something like &nlsp; or something like that.
I was using but I really wanna remember this one. I wish I could word the post better to explain what I'm talking about, but I'm sure someone here understands just by the confusion of &nlsp;
It is used for non-line breaking space in html.
and
having too many consecutive is eye itching and bad. If you want bigger space to be generated then use a <span class="spaceOf5px"> <span>. This is useful only as inline space. For block level, use DIV tag.
/*CSS for Wide Space Class*/
.spaceOf5px{
width: 5px;
}
.spaceOf10px{
width: 10px;
}
Remember - there is a space between the span tags.
It is . You can find out more about it in several online references, such as wikipedia. It stands for non-breaking space.
is the HTML entity for non-breaking space. No line break will occur between words separated by a non-breaking space even in the cases where a browser would normally perform text wrapping.
is a Non-Breaking SPace in HTML. Normally in HTML, when multiple spaces separate text, as seen here,
<h3>Before spaces After spaces</h3>
the browser renders them as only one space:
However, if you use , the browser renders each space as non-breaking:
<h3>Before spaces After spaces</h3>
The spaces do not collapse to one (hence 'non-breaking'). Each space is rendered:
I have a problem, but maybe this is not a problem actually! Why below HTML markup is generating a result which seems to be incorrect even using Standard Fonts like Arial?
<span>سلام</span><span>خداحافظ</span>
سلامخداحافظ
Above output shouldn't be this? (ignore space used for simulation)
سلام خداحافظ
Also i have used margin for a tag but same problem.
Thanks in advance ;)
HTML elements do not necessarily break words. There are many legitimate reasons for that.
For instance, you might want to put emphasis on a letter in medial form by wrapping it in a <strong> or <em> element. If that element was considered as a single word, the letter would switch to its isolated form, which would probably not be the effect you're looking for.
Inserting either a non-breaking space ( ) or a zero-width non-breaking space () between the <span> elements fixes your problem.
You can see the results in this fiddle.
As i know span tag doesnt have href. I assume that u mean a tag.
u can use a space character between a tags to get desired result:
سلام خداحافظ
You can also enter an space between the to tags like. there is no need to use html codes:
سلام خداحافظ
