+## Spacing
+
+「有研究显示，打字的时候不喜欢在中文和英文之间加空格的人，感情路都走得很辛苦，有七成的比例会在 34 岁的时候跟自己不爱的人结婚，而其余三成的人最后只能把遗产留给自己的猫。毕竟爱情跟书写都需要适时地留白。
+
+与大家共勉之。」——[vinta/paranoid-auto-spacing](https://github.com/vinta/paranoid-auto-spacing)
+
+### Place one space before/after English words
+
+Good:
+
+> 在 LeanCloud 上，数据存储是围绕 `AVObject` 进行的。
+
+Bad:
+
+> 在LeanCloud上，数据存储是围绕`AVObject`进行的。
+
+> 在 LeanCloud上，数据存储是围绕`AVObject` 进行的。
+
+An example of complete and correct usage:
+
+> 在 LeanCloud 上，数据存储是围绕 `AVObject` 进行的。每个 `AVObject` 都包含了与 JSON 兼容的 key-value 对应的数据。数据是 schema-free 的，你不需要在每个 `AVObject` 上提前指定存在哪些键，只要直接设定对应的 key-value 即可。
+
+Exceptions: For product and brand names, please refer to the writing format of the official definition. For example, use “豆瓣FM” instead of “豆瓣 FM”.
+
+### Place one space before/after numbers
+
+Good:
+
+> 今天出去买菜花了 5000 元。
+
+Bad:
+
+> 今天出去买菜花了 5000元。
+
+> 今天出去买菜花了5000元。
+
+### Place one space between numbers and units
+
+Good:
+
+> 我家的光纤入户宽带有 10 Gbps，SSD 一共有 20 TB。
+
+Bad:
+
+> 我家的光纤入户宽带有 10Gbps，SSD 一共有 10TB。
+
+Exceptions: There should not be any spacing between numbers and degrees/percentages.
+
+Good:
+
+> 今天是 233° 的高温。
+
+> 新 MacBook Pro 有 15% 的 CPU 性能提升。
+
+Bad:
+
+> 今天是 233 ° 的高温。
+
+> 新 MacBook Pro 有 15 % 的 CPU 性能提升。
+
+### No additional spaces before/after punctuation in fullwidth form
+
+Good:
+
+> 刚刚买了一部 iPhone，好开心！
+
+Bad:
+
+> 刚刚买了一部 iPhone ，好开心！
+
+### `-ms-text-autospace` to the rescue?
+
+Microsoft provides a CSS property [`-ms-text-autospace`](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/ms531164(v=vs.85).aspx) that can specify the autospacing and narrow space width adjustment of text. However it's not popular, and on other platforms such as OS X and iOS we can not use this feature. So it's better for you to keep up the habit.
+
+## Punctuation
+
+### Avoid duplicate punctuation
+
+Good:
+
+> 德国队竟然战胜了巴西队！
+
+> 她竟然对你说「喵」？！
+
+Bad:
+
+> 德国队竟然战胜了巴西队！！
+
+> 德国队竟然战胜了巴西队！！！！！！！！
+
+> 她竟然对你说「喵」？？！！
+
+> 她竟然对你说「喵」？！？！？？！！
+
+## Fullwidth and halfwidth
+
+If you’re not familiar with fullwidth and halfwidth forms please refer to [Halfwidth and fullwidth forms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halfwidth_and_fullwidth_forms) on Wikipedia.

+
+> 嗨!你知道嘛?今天前台的小妹跟我说"喵"了哎!
+
+> 核磁共振成像 (NMRI) 是什么原理都不知道? JFGI!
+
+> 核磁共振成像(NMRI)是什么原理都不知道?JFGI!
+
+### Use numbers in halfwidth form
+
+Good:
+
+> 这件蛋糕只卖 1000 元。
+
+Bad:

+
+Exceptions: fullwidth numbers are acceptable for better visual alignment in graphic design.
