What is "the white of the day"? Why do Chinese English mix need space?
In Chinese, mixed Chinese and Chinese are common. But many people are accustomed to putting Chinese, English words and Arabic numerals together when they enter, which not only makes the text look very crowded, but also reduces the overall reading experience.
The so-called “protocol white” originated from the “Pangu.js” project in the open-source community. Its core philosophy is: Automatically insert a semi-angle space between the Chinese and the English letters, numbers, as the ancients do, separating closely connected elements. This small layout adjustment can significantly improve the aesthetic, readability and professionalism of articles.
What can this tool do for you?
- Auto-English spacing: For example, the automatic conversion of "I use Vue and React to develop" to "I use Vue and React to develop."
- Automatically handles Chinese-digit spacing: For example, the automatic conversion of "This is 2026" to "This is 2026."
- All-pointed dot correction: In the Chinese context, automatically amend the half-angle comma and the period to full-angle comma (,) and the period (in Chinese). ) prevent the tabs from being confused.
- Merge excess spaces: Clears the text of successive redundant spaces caused by an error in hand-input.
Best practices in Chinese and English
In addition to the use of tools, good layout habits are equally important. We recommend that:
In the Chinese paragraph, use a full-angle symbol, to the extent possible.
2. When it comes to proprietary terms (e.g. iPhone, GitHub), be careful to retain their official case-writing format.
3. The English language standard of punctuation and spaces remains in place within the English sentence.
4. Avoid the misuse of English words within the Chinese sentences unless there is no proper translation of the term in Chinese.
