Controlling White Space

A browser will collapse multiple spaces and white spaces into a single space. Use the CSS format below to alter the handling of white space by the browser.

P {white-space: pre; }

The white-space property has three possible settings.

• pre - preserves multiple spaces
• nowrap - prevents line wrapping without a break tag
• normal - allows the browser to determine how spaces are treated. This is usually the forcing of the collapse of multiple spaces into a single space.
