How many spaces after a colon and semicolon?

After a semicolon, there is never more than one space. Spacing after colons (and periods) depends on the style guidelines you're using. Some call for one space, others for two. The most important thing, however, is to be consistent. Use the same spacing after colons as you do after periods throughout the entire document.
