2. Headline The oldest classical British and Latin writing had little or no space between words and could be written in boustrophedon (alternating directions). Over time, text direction (left to right) became standardized. Word dividers and terminal punctuation became common.

The Greek par graphos evolved into the pilcrow, which in English manuscripts in the Middle Ages can be seen inserted inline between sentences. Head of presentation
