letterSpacing

Description

Sets or retrieves the amount of additional space between letters in the element.

Syntax

Remarks

The attribute will add the appropriate letter spacing after each character. If you do not want the end of a word to be affected by the spacing, you need to place the last character outside the closing element tag. Letter spacing can be influenced by justification. Negative values are permitted.
