Empty space with css

HTML Tag

The element is used to insert spaces on the web page.

Sometimes you may need to put space into your document. Often this is done with the use of invisible images that can be fully transparent, or have the same color as the background. However, these methods aren’t reliable. To include blank space in a document, you can use the element. It is like an image, but actually, there isn’t a picture there.

You should specify as one of the following types: horizontal, vertical, and block, which can be both horizontal and vertical. To do this, use the type attribute.

Modern browsers don’t support the tag. Use HTML and tags, or CSS margin and padding properties instead.

There are many options for adding and controlling blank space on the web-page:

Syntax

The tag is empty, which means that the closing tag isn’t required.

Example of the HTML tag:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> div < display: block; text-align: center; > style> head> body> div> PageUp↑ br> ←Home spacer type="horizontal" width="100" height="100"> ♢ spacer> End→ br> PageDown↓ div> body> html>

Attributes

Attribute	Value	Description
align	align	Defines the alignment of the element relative to the content.
height	height	Defines the height of empty space in pixels.
size	size	Defines the pixel number of empty space, depending on the type attribute.
type	block horizontal vertical	Indicates the element type.
width	width	Defines the width of an empty space in pixels.

white-space

The white-space CSS property sets how white space inside an element is handled.

Try it

The property specifies two things:

Note: To make words break within themselves, use overflow-wrap , word-break , or hyphens instead.

Syntax

/* Single keyword values */ white-space: normal; white-space: nowrap; white-space: pre; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre-line; white-space: break-spaces; /* white-space-collapse and text-wrap shorthand values */ white-space: collapse balance; white-space: preserve nowrap; /* Global values */ white-space: inherit; white-space: initial; white-space: revert; white-space: revert-layer; white-space: unset; 

Values

white-space property values can be specified as a single keyword chosen from the list of values below, or two values representing shorthand for the white-space-collapse and text-wrap properties.

Sequences of white space are collapsed. Newline characters in the source are handled the same as other white space. Lines are broken as necessary to fill line boxes.

Collapses white space as for normal , but suppresses line breaks (text wrapping) within the source.

Sequences of white space are preserved. Lines are only broken at newline characters in the source and at elements.

Sequences of white space are preserved. Lines are broken at newline characters, at , and as necessary to fill line boxes.

Sequences of white space are collapsed. Lines are broken at newline characters, at , and as necessary to fill line boxes.

The behavior is identical to that of pre-wrap , except that:

• Any sequence of preserved white space always takes up space, including at the end of the line.
• A line-breaking opportunity exists after every preserved white space character, including between white space characters.
• Such preserved spaces take up space and do not hang, thus affecting the box’s intrinsic sizes ( min-content size and max-content size).

The following table summarizes the behavior of the various white-space keyword values:

New lines	Spaces and tabs	Text wrapping	End-of-line spaces	End-of-line other space separators
normal	Collapse	Collapse	Wrap	Remove	Hang
nowrap	Collapse	Collapse	No wrap	Remove	Hang
pre	Preserve	Preserve	No wrap	Preserve	No wrap
pre-wrap	Preserve	Preserve	Wrap	Hang	Hang
pre-line	Preserve	Collapse	Wrap	Remove	Hang
break-spaces	Preserve	Preserve	Wrap	Wrap	Wrap

Note: There is a distinction made between spaces and other space separators. These are defined as follows:

Spaces (U+0020), tabs (U+0009), and segment breaks (such as newlines).

All other space separators defined in Unicode, other than those already defined as spaces.

Where white space is said to hang, this can affect the size of the box when measured for intrinsic sizing.
