word-spacing

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

Theword-spacing attribute specifies spacing behavior between words.

If a<length> is provided without a unit identifier (e.g., an unqualified number such as 128), the browser processes the <length> as a width value in the current user coordinate system.

If a <length> is provided with one of the unit identifiers (e.g., .25em or 1%), then the browser converts the <length> into a corresponding value in the current user coordinate system.

Note:As a presentation attribute,word-spacing also has a CSS property counterpart:word-spacing. When both are specified, the CSS property takes priority.
