However, the HTML spec claims that whitespace is insignificant (it actually isn't, but that's another story) and so browsers reduce consecutive whitespaces into a single space, including newlines.<br /><br />The simplest fix for this is to simply start using some HTML tags in your posts, namely the "pre" tag, which tells browsers that whitespace is significant. Unfortunately, this also turns off automatic line wrapping, but as long as the text you put inside the pre tag is already wrapped at 80 columns or some other sane place you will be fine.Donovan Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07076057843365973055noreply@blogger.com
