Hello, everyone. I am very new to web design (just started learning HTML in
August and CSS this September). I have been reading and absorbing a lot
both online and offline. But I cannot seem to find the answer to this
question I have now anywhere.
I am taking a friend's site out of tables (hoo
I didn't attack anyone. These lists exist for the criticism and
discussion of ideas. I made a criticism of something you and others
had posted.

Who's attacking who?
I provided a way to do it (a "hack" to you), that does it reliably for me.
I was asked to provide that to the list. I did. You attacked it as "messy
and complicated" with "little value".

Stop picking up tiny bits of what I write to get angry about.
Read all of what I've written and you'll see I haven't actually told
you to do or not do anything in any of my messages. What I wrote in

Then it also must have problems with the many instances of other special
characters (”, ₀, etc., etc.) Many web pages have dozens of
these. The Google homepage, arguably the most visited page on the web, has
a couple dozen and another few » characters.
This is, therefore, a poorly implemented

Please stop telling me what I want. I want two spaces. Period (pun
intended). I want the width of the white space following a full stop to be
exactly twice the width of the space between words. That is, two spaces in
the current font.
Therefore, I want a browser to give me two spaces, one guar

concerned
(how can something be very correct anyway?)
Would creating a hack to force the display of two spaces not be akin to
using tags improperly (such as using a h1 tag simply to make big text)?
I do agree that with mon

No it's not. You want a larger space for legibility.
This used to be done on some systems by a space followed by a another
space. Which HTML renders as a single space.
On other systems there (as mentioned in another post) was a fixed

Simple for some, yes, but
Thank you for your opinion. It is my opinion that my text-heavy site is
vastly more readable with double spaces after the period. And the fix is
hardly messy and complicated (simple preg_replace functions).

Hi Gabriele,
I fully endorse your view. Usefulness can be value in many cases, in art and
games and in many other situations it isn't. It's not needed either. Happily
Leonardo and Michelangelo and Dante had a larger view on life than just
usefulness.
