4 Editorial Formatting Principles

  • Pangu Spacing (CJK-Latin):Leave a single halfwidth space between CJK characters and Latin words or digits for optimal readability.
  • Fullwidth Punctuation:Use fullwidth Chinese punctuation marks (,。!?:) and corner brackets (「」) for quotes in Chinese text.
  • Halfwidth Alphanumeric:Keep all years, amounts, codes and percentages in halfwidth alphanumeric (e.g. 2026, 3.14%, $1,000).
  • Paragraph Rhythm:Web articles typically separate paragraphs with a single blank line, while printed books use 2-space indents.
