Agreed. Balázs, what would be the alternative to using duplicated spaces? Using tabs instead? I feel like I need to understand the use case better before suggesting a replacement string... I am not Balázs, but I am almost sure it means using paragraph, column and page breaks instead of repeatedly pressing Space and Enter.

Yes, it means what Adolfo wrote above, it means to avoid repeatedly pressing Space and Enter to create more spaces between paragraps or align texts with spaces instead of tabs or align formats. But I think we should use a better sentence for this? Maybe something like: Avoid using of spaces to format text alignment. Thank you both. What about: "Avoid using repeated spaces to change text alignment." But users might end up with duplicated spaces for many different reasons (including the habit of typing two spaces after a full stop, or a plain error). They aren't necessarily trying to align text a certain way. So we shouldn't assume the intent, and could stick to something plain a short: "Avoid repeated spaces."

Yes, both is good, but the second option ("Avoid repeated spaces.") is better, since includes all the reasons why users would use it. |
