English term or phrase: whitespace character

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 sentence(s):

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

aksara ruang putih

Definition from Nuawi, M.Z., Md. Saad, M.H.:
whitespace = ruang putih
character = aksara

thus, whitespace character = aksara ruang putih.

Ruang-putih digunakan bagi memudahkan pembacaan.

Jadi, jelas di sini bahawa penggunaan whitespace secara efektif dapat:

1) Menjadikan aspek visual laman web kita lebih menarik.
2) Memudahkan para pembaca membezakan bahagian-bahagian dalam laman web, contohnya header, entri, sidebar dan sebagainya.
3) Menyenangkan para pembaca membaca teks entri kita dengan lebih lancar dan tidak menyakitkan mata dan menyakitkan hati. Untuk makluman semua, ruang kosong antara setiap baris ayat juga dikategorikan sebagai whitespace.
4) Menjadikan rekabentuk laman web anda tampak lebih profesional.(ayat marketing nih)

Soalan yang bagus, sekali lagi, sila lihat screenshot yang telah diubahsuai dibawah. Untuk makluman, sebahagian besar whitespace di dalam versi screenshot ini sengaja dihilangkan dan dimiskinkan. - Infomalaya

Explanation:

NOTE

Formal translation from <a href="http://prpm.dbp.gov.my/">Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka</a> suggested the term aksara ruang putih.

However, it is noted that most websites adopt the English term whitespace directly (without space).
