Synopsis

This defines the amount of whitespace to be inserted between words in an element. For the purposes of this property, a “word” is defined to be a string of characters surrounded by whitespace. Length values create a modifier to the usual spacing between words; thus, normal is synonymous with 0. Negative length values are permitted and will cause words to bunch closer together.

Values:

<length> | normal | inherit

Initial value:

normal

Applies to:

all elements

Inherited:

yes

Computed value:

for normal, the absolute length 0; otherwise, the absolute length
