Adjacent Links Need to be Clearly Separated

Requirement: When listed adjacently, links must be separated by a space, a non-link character and a space.

Below are some links. How easy it to determine where these links go? If you are not using a screen reader, read the links aloud.

With no separation, it becomes difficult to understand where one link begins and the next ends.

When listing links adjacently, break them up by placing a space, a non-link item, such as "|" character, and then a space in between them. An example is the group of text links at the top of this page.
