Sophisticated fonts may have differently sized spaces for bold, italic, and small-caps faces, and often compositors will manually adjust the width of the space depending on the size and prominence of the text. In addition to this general-purpose space, it is possible to encode a space of a specific width. See the table below for a complete list.
In information theory, linguistics, and computer science, the Levenshtein distance is a string metric for measuring the difference between two sequences. The Levenshtein distance between two words is the minimum number of single-character edits (insertions, deletions or substitutions) required to change one word into the other.
Ukkonen's 1985 algorithm takes a string p, called the pattern, and a constant k; it then builds a deterministic finite state automaton that finds, in an arbitrary string s, a substring whose edit distance to p is at most k [13] (cf. the Aho–Corasick algorithm, which similarly constructs an automaton to search for any of a number of patterns ...
Thus, the current Stata release can always open datasets that were created with older versions, but older versions cannot read newer format datasets. Stata can read and write SAS XPORT format datasets natively, using the fdause and fdasave commands. Some other econometric applications, including gretl, can directly import Stata file formats.
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).
Tab-separated values (TSV) is a simple, text-based file format for storing tabular data. [3] Records are separated by newlines , and values within a record are separated by tab characters . The TSV format is thus a delimiter-separated values format, similar to comma-separated values .
The CSV file format is one type of delimiter-separated file format. [2] Delimiters frequently used include the comma, tab, space, and semicolon. Delimiter-separated files are often given a ".csv" extension even when the field separator is not a comma. Many applications or libraries that consume or produce CSV files have options to specify an ...
The SI also prescribes the use of a space [24] (often typographically a thin space) as a thousands separator where required. Both the point and the comma are reserved as decimal markers. 1 000 000 000 000 (thin space) or 1000000 not 1,000,000 or 1.000.000 1 000 000 000 000 (regular space which is significantly wider)
