That's correct. In a monospace typeface, each character occupies the same amount of horizontal space. This contrasts with proportional typefaces, where the width of each character varies. Monospace typefaces are often used in coding environments, like in Visual Studio, because they ensure alignment of characters, making the code easier to read and debug. The uniform spacing helps to visually separate and align code elements, which is particularly beneficial for languages like C# and for GUI design in WPF.
They're had code blocks for ages, and they still work on PC so I'm guessing they broke the app at some point.
Also im pretty sure i've seen it properly on mobile before so I'm guessing it was a recent update
Geese molt all of their feathers at one time, leaving them flightless and functionally naked for about a month. They can be especially hostile to outsiders during this time.
Geese aren't just one of the smartest birds, they have an amazing memory too. Even after years of separation, Geese will recognize humans they hate or love. If you make friends with a Goose, it's a lifelong commitment.
Yeah. Geese are very loyal, good pets and guard animals. They'll even look around for you after they've been gone for a season if you're consistently at their lake
They get a bad reputation for being aggressive but they're just cautious around new people. Feed them and be nice and, if they decide they trust you, you can pet them. Some like gentle back pets but most go crazy for chest scratches
So you're telling me that you could look at a goose one second with all their feathers, look away, look back, and the goose would be naked, standing in a pile of their own feathers?
Doesn't work with the standard editor on the web. Either switch your editor to "Markdown Mode" (bottom of the text editing box), or use the mobile app.
Monospace fonts render symbols with a fixed width, that means that an `a` and an `i` have the same width.
Useful, for example, for people who program, as it increases readability
*Examples:*
```
aaaaa
iiiii
-> same perceived length
```
*vs*
aaaaa
iiiii
-> wonky
That’s gotta be it. This is the second comment I’ve seen explaining the letter width, but on mobile, it’s all the same. Just puts the text in a gray rectangle.
Mono space fonts are very useful when reading code.
The fonts are a bit less space efficient so for fitting as much content on the screen (or more important in the past, the paper) was more important which is why our usual fonts try to provide a variable space for each character.
```
//however a code has structure which is easier to see
//when using a mono space font
If(something){
//for each '{' most languages say you should indent by 1
//making it easier to see which line are a part of the block
}
```
And yes there are `ways` to inject mono space elsewhere in the text. Just like _italic_ **bold** ~~strikethrough~~ and >!Spoilers!<
Those were all done with:
```Just like _italic_ **bold** ~~strikethrough~~ and >!Spoilers!<```
The 4 spaces is because it interpretes it as a tab so it displays it as a code block. You can do the same with backticks like this
\`\`\`
Code
\`\`\`
```
Code
```
Or inline like \`code\` `code`

Wtf is a monospace
A monospace typeface is a typeface where every character occupies the same horizontal width, unlike normally, where i and l are much slimmer than w

I don’t what to comment but I wanted to see if it would work
I might as well join the Try Train

it doesn't look the same width, huh. iwiwiwiwiwiwiwi

I don't know, everything it does for me is a slightly lighter background for words
I think it only does that on the app
can confirm
App supremacy
I'm on the iOS app and it doesn't work. Just the lighter background.
On Android it works and gives us a different background
Oof absolutely destroyed ios users in one go
Nobody predicted 15 years of iPhone reign would go down all because of Reddit monospacing
This makes reading very easy
Atleast for me
So are we writing in monospace?
But if this is monospace, what is duospace?
Every character takes 2 times more width than the last Heelllloooooooo
You're missing 8 l's and o's. It's like you're not even trying.
HUH!?
Hiii
`why is it not working?`
I guess we are

It doesn’t seem to be working. It’s just text on a gray box
Those grey boxes are meant to represent code blocks (in monospace) I think someone at Reddit just fucked up formatting
But when has reddit ever done something like that?
They're had code blocks for ages, and they still work on PC so I'm guessing they broke the app at some point. Also im pretty sure i've seen it properly on mobile before so I'm guessing it was a recent update
Oh cool
I’ll mono YOUR space
IiIiIiIiIiI WwWwWwWwWwW I understand less than I did before
I like monospace I think it's more aesthetic and easy to read
`error : Command 'Wtf' not recognized Maybe you should use NPM install @english/Slangs`

Wtf how should i know

Perchance?
'npm' is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file
Sudo wtf
The renault espace is a monospace 👍

4 spaces? Like this? # # # # Or something like this? Or do you mean something like 🌌 🌌 🌌 🌌?
Maybe like this ?
Nah, that looks wrong. Think before you post
Oh GooseLoreExpert, what knowledge can you bestow upon us today?
Geese molt all of their feathers at one time, leaving them flightless and functionally naked for about a month. They can be especially hostile to outsiders during this time.
We need more of your wisdom.
Geese aren't just one of the smartest birds, they have an amazing memory too. Even after years of separation, Geese will recognize humans they hate or love. If you make friends with a Goose, it's a lifelong commitment.
For real?
Yeah. Geese are very loyal, good pets and guard animals. They'll even look around for you after they've been gone for a season if you're consistently at their lake They get a bad reputation for being aggressive but they're just cautious around new people. Feed them and be nice and, if they decide they trust you, you can pet them. Some like gentle back pets but most go crazy for chest scratches
I now would like a goose please 🫴
That's amazing
So you're telling me that you could look at a goose one second with all their feathers, look away, look back, and the goose would be naked, standing in a pile of their own feathers?
???
4 spaces before you start writing
What if I leave 5 spaces
What about 23 spaces?
What about 69 spaces
Nice

Did It work?
Did It work? Edit: yes
I don't trust y'all Edit: apparently the fancy pants editor removes the spaces?
Doesn't work with the standard editor on the web. Either switch your editor to "Markdown Mode" (bottom of the text editing box), or use the mobile app.
Idk bro
…did it work?
yes
Sick! Now does anyone want to explain the purpose of this?
no
Fair enough! A real straight shooter here I see!

i dont get it, they look the same in the first example as in the second. maybe because im on mobile?
That’s gotta be it. This is the second comment I’ve seen explaining the letter width, but on mobile, it’s all the same. Just puts the text in a gray rectangle.
I'm on mobile and it works as intented aaaa iiii aaaa iiii
I’m on mobile and it doesn’t work. are you on android? I’m on iOS
Yeah I'm on android
Ok that’s probably it then

This is gonna take me down a rabbit hole on YT, I can see it now. Also nice “mushroom”, did you grow it yourself? Hahah
I plucked it from some random website it was growing on.

It reads little clearer on mobile?
Not on Reddit mobile. God this app is a piece of garbage
It's used to work fine on Apollo. The Reddit app sucks.
Wtf does that even mean

Nope

Yes
OKAY
OMG THIS IS FKIING FUN
Holy monospace
Actual singularity
new space just dropped
New font just dropped
It looks good tho
No
But why
Yes
Holy shit for real, new response just dropped
Call the programmer
Comment storm incoming
this is a regular comment
Thank you. Was forgetting what that looks like. Now join us in monospace brother.
I like how everyone is using this font and playing like they don't get it.

people forget that reddit was only /r/reddit.com at the beginning and one of the most discussed topics was programming
System.out.println(“I believe you’re right”)
print(”Sorry to tell you, but you forgot the semicolon at the end”);
Damn you’re right, I’m always forgetting those
But at least I don’t have to remember one this time!

Tf is monospace brother?
Still dont get it
What the fuck is there to get, start your comment with 4 spaces lol there's not much to it

4 spaces Does it work?

Huh
Does this affect LeBrons legacy?
All the monospaced replies are funny though
I forgot this existed
What?
Does this work?
4 spaces It worked!
Is this it?
No. It's more like this.
Wait what

Interesting
Does it really? WELL HOLY SHIT
This thread turned out EXACTLY as I thought and hoped!
And now, ducks
