      The spacing is just the text being set to have the same length in every line (not sure how that’s called in english, but spacing is adjusted so that the last letter in every line lines up without having to split words). They also missed a space after a comma in one row which doesn’t help with it looking weird.

      No idea about the codes.

        It’s called justified alignment. It’s formatted pretty badly, I think it’s supposed to be a list, but formatted as text. The first line of each paragraph is indented, which looks absolutely awful when you have “paragraphs” that are merely two lines. You want the indent of the first line for long paragraphs to more easily find the next paragraph, but here it just makes the text look weirdly spaced with every second line sticking out.

        Wait, I get it. It’s supposed to be two columns.

        My mind was trying to “don’t dead open inside” and balking at the spacing.

        Good thing we have professionals making newspapers eh?
