Are there other whitespace codes like nbsp for half-spaces em-spaces en-spaces etc useful in HTML

Question

Wondering if there are other codes available to use in an HTML newsletter    I would use cell padding or margins but I m new to this HTML CSS thing and I can t find a change that does effect both the Main Title line and the sub-head under it  Being an email I m hesitant to go mucking around with the CSS to get it just so     since I don t know what email clients don t like in the way of CSS as opposed to inline markup   For context the template I m using is Mute theme from Mailchimp snip        lt  -- language  lang-html -- gt   lt table cellspacing  0  cellpadding  0  border  0  align  center  width  626  gt       lt tbody gt           lt tr gt               lt td valign  middle  bgcolor   546781  height  97  background  images header-bg jpg  style  vertical-align  middle   gt                   lt table cellspacing  0  cellpadding  0  border  0  align  center  width  555  height  97  gt                       lt tbody gt                           lt tr gt                               lt td valign  middle  width  160  style  vertical-align middle  text-align  left   gt                                   lt img width  70  height  70  src  http   dl dropbox com        png  style  margin 0  margin-top  4px  display  block   alt      gt                               lt  td gt                               lt td valign  middle  style  vertical-align  middle  text-align  left   gt                                   lt h1 class  title  style  margin 0  padding 0  font-size 30px  font-weight  normal  color   192c45  important   gt                                       lt singleline label  Title  gt  lt span gt Title of Report lt  span gt  lt  singleline gt                                   lt  h1 gt                                   lt h1 class  title  style  margin 0  padding 0  font-size 15px  font-weight  normal  color   192c45  important   gt                                       lt singleline label  Title  gt  lt span gt Small Subhead lt  span gt  lt  singleline gt                                   lt  h1 gt                               lt  td gt                               lt td width  55  valign  middle  style  vertical-align middle  text-align  center   gt                                   lt h2 class  date  style  margin 0  padding 0  font-size 13px  font-weight  normal  color   192c45  important  text-transform  uppercase  font-weight  bold  line-height 1   gt                                       lt currentmonthname   gt December                                  lt  h2 gt                                   lt h2 class  date  style  margin 0  padding 0  font-size 23px  font-weight  normal  color   192c45  important  font-weight  bold   gt                                        lt currentyear   gt 2011                                  lt  h2 gt                               lt  td gt                            lt  tr gt                       lt  tbody gt                   lt  table gt               lt  td gt           lt  tr gt    The whole email as a web page can be seen here

Not sure if this is what you re referring to  but this is the list of HTML entities you can use   List of XML and HTML character entity references  Using the content within the  Name  column you can just wrap these in an  amp  and    E g   amp nbsp    amp emsp   etc

There are codes for other space characters  and the codes as such work well  but the characters themselves are legacy character  They have been included into character sets only due to their presence in existing character data  rather than for use in new documents  For some combinations of font and browser version  they may cause a generic glyph of unrepresentable character to be shown  For details  check my page about Unicode spaces   So using CSS is safer and lets you specify any desired amount of spacing  not just the specific widths of fixed-width spaces  If you just want to have added spacing around your h2 elements  as it seems to me  then setting padding on those elements  changing the value of the padding  0 settings that you already have  should work fine
