I am trying to put extra space between two words within a sentence in an ebook.

example (AGE NONE) I do not want extra space between any other words in the sentence. I am currently getting this but inserting the en space code three times. I was just wondering if there is a better way to do this?

On my firefox it seems excess negative word-spacing does not make inline-blocks to overlap (it still makes words overlap). If this works in most browsers, it is the best

In reply to Kevin.

Agreed. And actually the default (or normal) word spacing is 0.25em (http://webtypography.net/2.1.1). I tested it with major browsers (Chrome/Firefox/Safari/IE) they all have 0.25em defaults. If you set word-spacing to -0.25em, the result is no space between words (all words concats together). If you set it less than that like -1em, most browsers would overlap words, except IE (I tested on 11) which would keep no spacing instead of overlapping.

“This value indicates inter-word space in addition to the default space between words. Values may be negative, but there may be implementation-specific limits.”

Setting word-spacing to zero to remove the space between inline-block elements did not have any effect for me. Any other value than zero worked. So I tried to find out which negative em value I needed to use.

Looks like -0.25em removes the standard whitespace between blocks.

I'm noticing a problem with attempting to center a headline with word-spacing.

text-align: center;
padding: 1em 0;
margin: .5em auto 0;
 width: 100%;
word-spacing: 5em;

In FF, this behaves as expected: literal centering with a large gap between words. In Chrome, it appears to apply the spacing to the front of the first word, forcing the text to push out the right side of the box. In Safari, it appears to ignore text-align: center completely. All screenshots from current browser versions on OS X (10.8.4). Is there a work-around for this inconsistency or do I have to settle for fixing this with manual spacing? screen capture windows
