How do you post formatted text without losing the extra spaces?
Seems like the forum software extracts consecutive space
characters..

The browsers do that automatically. English rules were changed a while back so that the double space after period is no longer correct, and browsers were made to fit that new rule.

You can use %nbsp as a space character, but I'm not sure if browsers will respect that or not. You could use the
 and 
tags at the start and end of a section of text, and then the browser will display it exactly as typed (carriage returns, tabs, etc).

Thanks bud! I stumbled into the "pre /pre" earlier and
got it to work reasonably well :grin:

Glad you figured that out, since I just realized it actually used the tags and didn't show them...duh...
