In mathematical typography, the widths of spaces are usually given in integral multiples of an eighteenth of an em, and 4/18 em may be used in several situations, for example between the a and the + and between the + and the b in the expression a + b. [4] HTML/XML named entity:  , LaTeX: \: (the LaTeX medium space is a no-break space)
{{Plain space|1=string}} Replaces a variety of whitespace characters and HTML entities representing whitespace characters in string with plain ordinary spaces. This template is designed to be used in template construction to sanitize inputs to other templates or parser functions such as {{#time}}. This template recognizes the following:   ...
Sometimes, a minor fix will help eliminate or reduce whitespace. This may involve adding or removing one blank line from some part of the page, re-ordering templates, or the use of a gallery for multiple images. If an embedded list creates white space, using two or more columns may solve the problem.
The {} template uses HTML, and will size-match a serif font, and will also prevent line-wrap. All templates are sensitive to the = sign, so remember to replace = with {} in template input, or start the input with 1=. Use wiki markup '' and ''' inside the {} template, as well as other HTML entities.
A second common application of non-breaking spaces is in plain text file formats such as SGML, HTML, TeX and LaTeX, whose rendering engines are programmed to treat sequences of whitespace characters (space, newline, tab, form feed, etc.) as if they were a single character (but this behavior can be overridden).
The only reason to prefer one over the other is to allow or prevent line wrapping. Given the purpose of this template, it can't really make any sense except as one that does the latter. So, the obvious solution is to replace the blank space and   code in {{space}} with all s.

This template internally uses mw:Extension:SyntaxHighlight, which is considered an 'expensive parser function' (see WP:EXPENSIVE). If used on a page which uses more than 500 expensive parser functions, the output of subsequent uses of this template will be presented using <code>...</code> formatting (without any syntax highlighting) instead.
