CSS word-spacing
The CSS word-spacing property is used to define the length/size of white spaces between words. For example:
HTML with CSS Code
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> .a{word-spacing: normal;} .b{word-spacing: 4px;} .c{word-spacing: 1.2rem;} .d{word-spacing: -4px;} .e{word-spacing: 6px;} </style> </head> <body> <h2>word-spacing: normal</h2> <p class="a">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.</p> <h2>word-spacing: 4px</h2> <p class="b">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.</p> <h2>word-spacing: 1.2rem</h2> <p class="c">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.</p> <h2>word-spacing: -4px</h2> <p class="d">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.</p> <h2>word-spacing: 6px</h2> <p class="e">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.</p> </body> </html>
Output
word-spacing: normal
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.
word-spacing: 4px
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.
word-spacing: 1.2rem
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.
word-spacing: -4px
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.
word-spacing: 6px
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.
CSS word-spacing Syntax

The value of x should be any of the following:
- normal - used to apply the normal white space between words. This is the default value
- length - We can define custom sized white space like 12px, -4px, or 1.3rem etc. between words
