So passive whitespace is just whitespace in an element that can separate different lines of text, etc.??? I’m not sure I understand it

I’ve got also confused on the difference between passive and active white space…

I searched this for myself and I hope it can help someone else!

From my understanding, “Passive whitespace” relates to the content of an element while “Active whitespace” relates to the arrangement of elements.
