  White space (visual arts) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is that portion of a page left unmarked: the space between graphics, margins, gutters, space between columns, space between lines of type or figures and objects drawn or depicted.
White space should not be considered merely 'blank' space - it is an important element of design which enables the objects in it to exist at all, the balance between positive (or none-white) and the use of negative spaces is key to aesthetic composition.
When space is at a premium, such as some types of magazine, newspaper, and yellow pages advertising, white space is limited in order to get as much vital information on to the page as possible.

 Whitespace (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer science, white space, whitespace, or a whitespace character is any single character which represents horizontal or vertical space in written text, or is a series of such characters.
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".
Some specifications refer to "white space" while others refer to "whitespace"; there is no difference between the terms, although exactly which characters are being referred to does vary from context to context.

 Using white space in web page design and layout by Grantastic Designs
White space is an important layout technique often overlooked by the inexperienced designer.
Without an adequate amount of white space, text would be unreadable, graphics would lose their emphasis, and there would be no balance between the elements on a page.
White space takes on an added importance on the web because more of a strain is placed on the eyes than with print material.

 White Space
White space is defined as medical billed charge volume incurred by a health plan member outside of the payor’s owned or leased primary networks.
Managing white space is increasingly important to the financial health of health plans and their customers, especially given the continued acceleration in retail charges from providers who view reimbursement levels as being squeezed by Medicare.
White Space Management is a solution that addresses this situation by broadening in-network coverage through wrap networks and streamlining the workflow so that claims falling outside of a network are funneled through a coordinated, efficient process that maintains high levels of speed and accuracy.

 white space by Gary Lehmann
Most pages of poetry consist of 99% white space and only 1% print, and yet, critics for centuries have focused 100% of their attention on the smallest aspect of poetry on a page.
White space is not simply the space left over after the fl type marches over the page.
When the white space is set to the right of the poem, the words take on some aspects of prose in that the stanzas appear to function as paragraphs.

 LiveScience.com - The Meaning of White Space
Consumers associate white space with "refined taste and upscale qualities," according to a new study that traces the history of its use in advertising.
"White space, or any other visual form, does not have some inherent meaning; it means what it does because of a particular history," the researchers write in the June issue of the Journal of Consumer Research.
The researchers connect the meaning of white space to the minimalist movement in art and architecture and the corporate art movement in the late 1950s.

 Slow Leadership: White Space
White space doesn't sound exciting or important, but it is. It's essential for you to see clearly what's right in front of you.
Just as a page of writing with insufficient white space around it looks cramped and unattractive—besides being annoyingly difficult to read—so a life without enough "white space" in it is congested, confining and likely to make you frustrated and unhappy.
White space is made up of just about anything you do for its own sake, without hurry or concern for achieving some set result.

The space surrounding this block of text is just as important as other factors such as appropriate use of color, type and graphics.
White space refers to any empty area (colored or white, opaque or transparent) that is devoid of text.
Surrounding a block of text with a lot of white space, can actually draw the reader in, especially in a crowded layout such as a newspaper, where every nook and cranny is jam-packed with information.

 Jason Santa Maria | Under The Loupe #1: White Space
White space specifically refers to the space between letters and words, though, more generally for common use, can also mean any empty space residing in a layout (margins, leading, letter-spacing, etc).
When white space is used appropriately, it allows a page to create a general flow and balance, which in turn helps communicate the intent of the design by welcoming readers and inviting them to stay awhile.
If I had to make a white space analogy it’d be the one about going over that dude’s house who has every inch of his living room crammed with old computers and monitors and guitars and so much shit that you can’t even walk around.

 Text
When the resultant space between two characters is not the same as the default space, user agents should not use ligatures.
Note that there are two spaces between A and B, and none between B and C. This can sometimes be avoided by using the natural bidirectionality of characters instead of explicit embedding levels.
Also, it is good to avoid spaces immediately inside start and end tags, as these tend to do weird things when dealing with white space collapsing.

We define white space and state the general rule, that multiple white space is collapsed into a single space.
The consequence of this white space rule is that you can put carriage returns between your tags and your text as you see fit, in order to improve the legibility of your HTML documents.
However, there are two problems with the white space rules that we need to discuss: the exception to the white space rules, and the indenting dilemma.

Just about everyone in the iSeries community agrees that the key to survival of the platform is growth in new business opportunities—the “white space” as the hardware vendors refer to it.
I don’t know about “derive” since “white space” or “blank space” in a non-jargon sense is a common enough term.
Here, though, I think we are dealing with a very specific piece of jargon which is well beyond, say, “white space” as an artist’s tool, and is clearly and specifically a term of art.

 SPACE.com -- White House Cuts Hubble Servicing Mission from 2006 Budget Request
WASHINGTON — The White House has eliminated funding for a mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope from its 2006 budget request and directed NASA to focus solely on de-orbiting the popular spacecraft at the end of its life, according to government and industry sources.

But congressional sources told Space News they had been hearing since late last week that significant changes were afoot for Hubble.
