Subject: RE: Advice on starting out; dealing with employers
Barring any evidence to the contrary, I'd go with the advice of an
organization advocating for the dyslexic over some old fuddy-duddy at
W3C. But then, I'm firmly in the one-space camp. :-)
I'm curious, though, about that W3C guideline (but not curious enough to
go looking for it -- heh!). As Tony noted, all white space is collapsed
in HTML. Is W3C recommending the insertion of non-breaking spaces, or
what?
