Tell us what’s happening:
tl;dr -> I’ve learned that spaces aren’t permitted in URLs. However, I had a single space in the URL for the href value in a tag that works fine, what is happening?
I tried to experiment with Google Fonts with a font named Amatic SC, and since it has space in it, I tried to surround the font name in the URL in the tag with single quotes, like this:
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family='Amatic SC'" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
But it did not works on the cat page, then I found an article explaining that URLs can’t have spaces in them, so they’re often replaced by the character(s) +
or %20
and it does the trick.
Then, I changed it back to a single space "without quotation marks) and the font was applied to the text properly and now I’m confused. I thought spaces are not allowed in URLs. Could anyone explain to me what is happening?
Your code so far
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Amatic SC" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

}
p {
