EDIT: Apparently, the behaviour below is consistent between Firefox and
Chromium for links, but not for <h1>
.
My conclusion is that the <h1>
behaviour is a Firefox quirk, but the <a>
is
expected.
The HTML below has selectable extra spaces after <h1>
tags:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
<title>Spaces around h1 tags</title>
</head>
<body>
<main>
<h1>
With spaces around when selecting this heading
</h1>
<h1>Without spaces around</h1>
<p>
Is this expected behaviour?
</p>
</main>
</body>
</html>
The rendered output is:
With spaces around when selecting this heading
Without spaces around
Is this expected behaviour?
The same with links:
1
