We can't use more 1 space always, why?

We can't use more 1 space always, why?

For example;

Test1 Test2

Above, I have do 3space between Test1 and Test2 but when I posting the messages, I can't view 3space! I view always 1space...

We can't use more 1 space always, why?

Because it is against W3C recommendation -> http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#h-9.1

More than one space is only visible inside <pre></pre> tags (

)

You could of course mod your boards to include <pre> tags around each post which would solve this problem

I believe you can do this through CSS too

white-space: pre

Though I've not tested. In any event, it's due to the way HTML works, and not because we are stripping any characters..

replace(" ", "&nbsp;")?

[RawkBob]

replace(" ", " ")?

And add a lot of crap to your database probably tripling the size of the posts table...? hmmm!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't

It should allow you to type 5 or even 10 spaces
As sometimes you use it to express something.

I don't think mass replacing spaces with & nbsp ; (even at render time) would be a viable solution personally.

As a note, it's always worked like this - I'm wondering why it's only coming up now? :unsure:

[Strange_Will]

Javascript? Replace it client side?

l had a mod for 2.0 l think it was, that allowed you to add spaces, it was very handy.
