The tutor shares how to preserve white space on a web page.<\/h1>\n

Html doesn’t always take white space literally: when you type five spaces, the browser might show only one.<\/p>\n

What if you want the browser to render all the white space just as you’ve typed it? Perhaps you can use the css white-space<\/span> property.<\/p>\n

Both paragraphs, below, are typed with five spaces, then Hello, then five more spaces, then Hello. Its literal html follows each: <\/p>\n

Hello Hello<\/p>\n

<p> Hello Hello<\/p><\/p>\n

Hello Hello<\/p>\n

<p style=”white-space:pre-wrap”> Hello Hello<\/p><\/p>\n

Apparently, with the css white-space property, “pre” means “preserve”. “pre-wrap” means that the text will wrap like normal; with just “pre”, it won’t wrap until a line break:<\/p>\n

This paragraph is styled with “white-space:pre-wrap”<\/span>. Hence, extra spaces are preserved like these five , yet the line automatically wraps. If it were styled with just “white-space:pre”<\/span>, it would continue on the same line until encountering a line break.<\/p>\n

Neat, eh?<\/p>\n
