English term

whitespace character

GBK English to Portuguese Tech/Engineering Computers: Software
Definition from Robin Lionheart:
Characters in a document that are considered to separate words. In HTML 4.0, ASCII space characters, line breaks, tabs, form feeds, and zero‐width spaces are white space characters. One or more of these characters in the source document mark the end of one word and the beginning of another.
Example sentences:
When rendered, a whitespace character does not correspond to a visual mark, but typically does occupy an area on a page. As is common in technical literature, the two words "white space" have found widespread usage as the single term "whitespace", especially when used as an adjective, as in "whitespace character". (Wikipedia)
Preprocessor directives must appear as the first non-whitespace character on a line (eggheadcafe.com)
You can only filter nodes that contain only whitespace. In a text node that contains any non-whitespace characters, whitespace is considered significant, and is always displayed. (IBM Corporation)

Somente espaço Devo estar perdendo algum detalhe... Isso tem tradução corrente há muito tempo, mesmo antes da informática, "whitespace" já era usado para a datilografia, sempre foi gerado pela barra de espaços, ora pois... Código ASC 32. Será que agora finalmente descubriram que o termo é racista? Deve ser isso, afinal se o papel ou a tela de fundo tiver uma côr diferente o espaço não vai ser branco, poderia ser espaço amarelo, negro, vermelho and so on... Então o certo deveria ser somente "espaço"... ou quem sabe "carácter espacial"... ;-)

Defining "whitespace" i'd like to know Coolbrowne's defination for " whitespace ".....i'm led to believe that any blank space which marks the end of a word and the beginning of the next can be described as "Espaço em branco".....

Espaço em branco the blank space between two characters

Por exemplo, para corresponder a um carácter de espaço em branco no início de uma linha, utilize a seguinte expressão normal: (MS)
Peer comment(s):

disagree coolbrowne : This identifies specifically the spacecharacter SP=0x20. It omits other whitespace, such as HT, CR, LF, FF, and VT.
