CSS word-spacing

The CSS word-spacing property is used to control the spacing between words within a block of text. It defines the amount of space that should be added or subtracted between consecutive words.

The syntax for the word-spacing property is as follows:

selector {
  word-spacing: value;
}

• selector: Represents the HTML element or class to which the word-spacing property will be applied.
• value: Specifies the amount of space to be added or subtracted between words. It can be expressed in pixels (px), em units, percentages (%), or other length units.

Example:

p {
  word-spacing: 3px;
}

In this example, all paragraphs (<p> elements) will have a word-spacing of 3px, meaning there will be an extra 3px of space between each word.

The word-spacing property can be used to adjust the appearance and readability of text. By increasing or decreasing the word-spacing, you can change the visual spacing between words to suit your design needs.

It’s important to use the word-spacing property judiciously, as excessive word-spacing may negatively impact readability. In most cases, the default value (normal) or a very subtle adjustment is sufficient for maintaining readability.

Keep in mind that the word-spacing property affects only the spaces between words, not between letters within a word. For controlling letter spacing within a word, you can use the letter-spacing property.

Remember to test your styles across different browsers and devices to ensure that the word-spacing looks consistent and visually appealing in various contexts.
