spEEdfrEEk Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 How do you post formatted text without losing the extra spaces? Seems like the forum software extracts consecutive space characters.. :cool: TJ :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampNut Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 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).
