Spacing conventions vary, but values typically range from 1/4em to as low as 1/8em,

with 1/4em being particularly common in monospace contexts

This property is additive with the 'word-spacing' and 'letter-spacing' properties.

That is, the amount of spacing contributed by the 'letter-spacing' setting (if any)

is added to the spacing created by 'text-spacing'.
