8.4.6. Text Properties
Cascading stylesheets make a distinction between font properties, which
control the size, style, and appearance of text, and text properties,
which control how text is aligned and presented to the user.
8.4.6.1. The letter-spacing property
The
letter-spacing
property puts additional space between text letters
as they are displayed by the browser. Set the property with either a
length value or the default keyword
normal
, indicating that the browser
should use normal letter spacing. For example:
blockquote {letter-spacing: 2px}
puts an additional two pixels between adjacent letters within the
<block-
quote>
tag.
Figure 8-8
illustrates what happens when you put five pixels
between characters.
