WikiRules.en-US.md: Added more rules on typography and fixed some imcomplete statements.

| 133 | 133 | Two subsequent newlines indicate an [EOF](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-of-file) logically. Subsequent newlines out of verbatim quoted text (including source code) should only be used at EOF. |
| 134 | 134 | |
| 135 | -Except at the first of line, each word which consists of [alphanumeric](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphanumeric) characters should be seperated by a single space character(U+0020) with other words. | |
| 135 | +There are also some default rules on typography implemented by ordinary characters in plain texts: | |
| 136 | 136 | |
| 137 | -No [space characters](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_characters#Spaces_in_Unicode) should be at [EOL](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-of-line). | |
| 138 | - | |
| 139 | -To keep the semantics rules clear, use [horizontal tab character(U+0009)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab_key#Tab_characters) instead of [other spaces(i.e. U+0020)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_%28punctuation%29) to indent, unless the text is verbatim quoted. | |
| 137 | +* No [space characters](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_characters#Spaces_in_Unicode) should be at [EOL](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-of-line). | |
| 138 | +* For text other than verbatim quoted, no more than one [whitespace characters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_character) should be used to represent a single indent, except there are preferred combination in the language. | |
| 139 | + * **Rationale** By default, no more than one whitespaces should be used to represent an indent, because there should be no chance to insert a character in the middle of an indent. | |
| 140 | + * **NOTE** An example of preferred exceptional case is that the hanging indent (in the first line of a paragraph) in east Asian languages where dedicated combination of [fullwidth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halfwidth_and_fullwidth_forms) whitespaces are preferred. Typically, the sequence consists of 2 [ideographic space (U+3000)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_character#Unicode). | |
| 141 | + * **NOTE** To keep the semantics rules clear, when possible (in horizontal texts and out of the context of making tables) and no other forms are more preferred by the rules of the language, use [horizontal tab character(U+0009)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab_key#Tab_characters) instead of [other spaces (i.e. U+0020)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_%28punctuation%29) to indent. | |
| 142 | +* For Western languages, except at the first of line, each word which consists of [alphanumeric](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphanumeric) characters should be seperated by a single space character (U+0020) with other words. | |
| 143 | +* Space characters (U+0020) should be used for alignment when portability is required. | |
| 144 | + * **Rationale** This makes the visal effect easy to predicate in the usual settings with monospaced fonts in contexts like source code of programs. | |
| 145 | + * **NOTE** Other spaces like [non-breaking space (U+00A0)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-breaking_space) may be better in specific uses, but not portable as U+0020. | |
