Interesting History

The concept of standardized spacing in text dates back to the invention of the printing press in the 15th century. The modern standard of single spacing between words was established during the typewriter era in the late 19th century. Previously, various spacing conventions existed, including the practice of double spacing after periods, which persisted until the digital age. The rise of digital typography and HTML in the 1990s led to automated space normalization becoming a crucial tool in text processing.
