TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
One of the things I like about HTML is that the number of spaces you put
between sentences does not matter. The browser tokenizes the text stream
and displays the number of spaces that it wants to, and throws away the
rest. For Netscape or Microsoft, that number is 1.
