CSS word-spacing Property
Example
.example1 {
word-spacing: normal;
}
.example2 {
word-spacing: 50px;
}Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.
Meaning
The word-spacing property sets the spacing between words.
A large positive or negative word-spacing value will make the sentences the styling is applied to unreadable.
For text styled with a very large positive value, the words will be so far apart that it will no longer appear to be a sentence.
For text styled with a large negative value, the words will overlap each other to the point where the beginning and end of each word is unrecognizable.
