This is a standard paragraph. It uses typical word spacing and line breaks, making it easy to read and follow the flow of information. The default spacing is generally optimized for legibility across most digital platforms.

This section is indented, giving it a set-off appearance. It's often used for quotes, code blocks, or
any content you want to visually distinguish from
the main text. Notice how the leading spaces
create a distinct left margin for these lines.
The consistent indentation helps group this content together. It’s a simple but effective
way to structure your document and guide the reader's eye.

Here's an example with intentionally **multiple spaces** between words. While you *can*
do this in some editors, it's generally **not recommended** for professional
documents because it can look messy and inconsistent. Using multiple spaces to create visual gaps
is less precise than using proper formatting tools like padding or margins.

This line demonstrates the u
se of a non-breaking space. See how "non-breaking" and "space" are
kept together on the same line, even if the text wraps? This is crucial for phrases, numbers, or
names that should never be separated across a line break. Imagine writing "Page 25" or
"Dr. Smith"—you wouldn't want the "Dr." to be on one line and "Smith" on the next.

**Controlling Line Spacing:**
* This is a bullet point with standard line spacing.
* In a rich text editor, you can often adjust the **line height** (or leading). For example, you might set it to 1.5 lines
for more breathing room between text lines, or even single spacing for dense content.
* More space between lines can improve readability, especially for longer paragraphs, by reducing visual clutter.

Finally, consider **paragraph spacing**. Notice the clear gap between this paragraph and the one above. This
vertical space, often called "paragraph spacing" or "space after," helps break up large blocks of text
into manageable chunks, making the document much less intimidating and easier to scan. Without adequate
paragraph spacing, a document can look like a solid wall of text.
