Besides, the above article is using proportional font spacing, not monospacing.
Anyway, thanx for citing the rules of PRC. That's not what I knew of.
Unfortunately, I am educated in Hong Kong also but I am not arrogant enough to reject something I don't know. Please make sure you understand the terms "proportional" and "monospacing" and the algorithm behind computer programs.

Those rules are only common sense if you do read often. Like grammar, you can always argue whether they exist. Language is not a science or Law. As I said before, you have your right not to adopt them. A law against raping doesn't mean you cannot rape.

It's pretty difficult to talk to people with no common sense and proper manner.
