| This sets the style that determines the spacing and alignment of text elements. word-spacing Usage | Sets the spacing between words. | Values | <length> The spacing may be expressed in inches (in), centimeters (cm), points (pt), and pixels (px). inherit The same as the parent element. | Initial Value | normal |
letter-spacing Usage | Sets the spacing between letters, also known as kerning. | Values | <length> The spacing may be expressed in inches (in), centimeters (cm), points (pt), and pixels (px). inherit The same as the parent element. | Initial Value | normal |
