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 my email (all of it) matches what you've written below.
Simply: - you want two spaces, which is in effect a larger space - web browsers don't render two spaces, or the large em-space consistently - therefore a hack is required to make the browsers do what you want My original point was that the use of, and requirement for, two spaces is not "correct" or "right", it is a personal preference, or very rarely a requirement of a publisher. As it requires a hack, it may have unintended consequences - such as in screen readers, or in justified type. On 16/10/2006, at 11:49 AM, Chris Williams wrote: > Please stop telling me what I want.
