Thank HTML (and TeX) for auto-collapsing consecutive whitespace...

• rflrob 16y ago
  Not only does TeX collapse consecutive whitespace, when typesetting justified text, it will put whitespace back in the least ugly way it can figure out. It's systems like this that make me think humans shouldn't be responsible for things like "number of spaces" at all, unless they really know what they're doing.

    Agreed. It's too trivial for humans to have to worry about, anyway. Let alone to rant about.

      Using LyX, you can't even type extraneous space without extra effort.
