Agreed.

Just like what Dongliang said, a clearly and explicitly stated rule for
this is not necessary now, because we need more contributors, obviously
;-)

wow, thanks for the statistics.

So apparently I guess this is without doubt: we keep the same style in
current _existing_ articles. And then we are discussing what would be
the preferred style in new translations.

Both fine I guess, since it's not a big deal.

Correct me if I'm wrong: having spaces or not *does not* affect
rendering as HTML. So, (kind of out of topic, sorry) I'm quite curious,
Do people prefer to view the HTML version of the webpages or the plain
text version? (For the whole documentation, not only translations)

I happened to be reminded that I missed some interesting and useful docs
just because I preferred to read docs on docs.kernel.org, while that
file is not listed in the index.rst file, so I didn't notice it before.
But this seems to be an issue more for English Documentation though. [1]
