CSS2.1 defines this: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/text.html#q8 Basically, you're allowed to break at the end of sequence of spaces, but not before. So "word1 word2 " can only break between word1 and word2. However, the spaces after word2 can be (but do not have to be) "visually collapsed" to nothing. I really don't like the idea of collapsing spaces in a plaintext editing environment. If there are multiple invisible spaces at the end of the line, they'll appear when the text rewraps to a different width--and that would often be after the text has been submitted (in a form, via email, etc). ~fantasai _______________________________________________ dev-tech-layout mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-layout
