One or two spaces after a period? How about three?
- James_Henry 3y agoI've always been annoyed by the way html treats whitespace. Having more space between sentences is so much more readable.
- MBCook 3y agoI’d always heard it was to try to minimize rivers in text. I don’t see that mentioned. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_(typography) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_(typography)
- James_Henry 3y agoThey don't mention it here, but I think they might on a different post? Rivers are going to show up more in a monospace font (which your link points out), so that would make sense. With modern fonts it makes sense to be putting the spaces in after a sentence stops for readability though. Microsoft word allows for manipulating spacing anywhere there are still rivers.
