whitespace character

GBK English to Finnish 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)

tyhjätilamerkki

Definition from own experience or research:
Tyhjätilamerkki on merkki joka vie tilaa vaaka- tai pystysuunnassa, mutta joka ei näy tulostettaessa tai normaalissa tekstinäkymässä.
Example sentences:
Tyhjätilamerkin määritelmä riippuu (tietokone)kielestä ja jopa kielen versiosta. Esimerkiksi HTML:ssä tyhjätilamerkiksi lasketaan myös leveydetön välilyönti (zero width space, ZWSP, U+200B) mutta sen sijaan ei esimerkiksi sitovaa (yhdistävää) välilyöntiä. (sfnet)
