English term

whitespace character

GBK English to Swedish 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)

Wikipedia använder normalt sett inte blanktecken vid formatering av artiklar, många blanktecken i rad är därför ett tecken på att något kan vara fel. (Wikipedia)
Predikatet tar en sträng som argument och ger en sträng där alla specialtecken (alla tecken förutom blanktecken och vanliga bokstäver) är borttagna. (Chalmers)
