The
letter-spacing
property increases or decreases the spacing (width) of the blank (white) space between adjacent characters or letters. A positive value increases the spacing. A negative value decreases the spacing.
normal
The
normal
value is the default. With one exception, by declaring
normal
, you can ensure that any previous declaration will not effect the spacing. Even if
normal
is declared, the spacing could still be effected by justification by the
text-align
property. See the
length
value, below, for a way of turning off justification.
length
The
length
value can be negative or positive. A value of zero prevents justification of the text from occurring, even if justification has been declared. The
length
can be in any of the following seven units. Use the abbreviation.
