Hi Chris! We're wondering about this page, [Whitespace in the DOM](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document_Object_Model/Whitespace_in_the_DOM). 

Before yesterday, the page was mainly based on the use case of writing DOM manipulation code. However, we recently got a lot of [Twitter love](https://twitter.com/FirefoxDevTools/status/1153936100681015297) for our whitespace node marker in DevTools, which is much more about HTML/CSS layout issues due to unexpected effects of whitespace. Thus, I started to add a bit of info on this, including a link to [this article](https://patrickbrosset.com/articles/2016-10-21-when-does-white-space-matter-in-HTML.html) by Patrick. 

Because we want to start linking to it from inside DevTools as part of our new whitespace node design, we feel it would be best to have an MDN page that is more focused on the layout issues up front, with more of the info from Patrick. We also think the HTML/CSS use case is more common. Would it make sense to update the existing page for this, or create a new page about 'Whitespace in HTML/CSS Layouts'?
