Gleb Hlebov to Anton Shepelev:

AS>> Brick text is a colloquial term for a paragraph written

AS>> without additional whitespace.  In your article from
AS>> 2023-04-04 23:52 you wrote two of them:

GH> Well, there are doubled spaces between sentences.

This is sentence spacing -- traditionlly used in typewriting
and in the better typographical books.  If you will remember
the book on witchcraft in Suspiria, it has sentence spacing,
too.

GH> But, yes -- not tripled or quadrupled or too wide
GH> stretches between words, like you'd expect in MS Word
GH> and such.  And the bricks appear so neatly packed it's
GH> almost unreal. :-)

Must be harder than verse.
