Do you ever get frustrated by not being able to use multiple spaces in your blog? This can be annoying when you’re writing or citing a poem which uses lots of spacing in a very controlled manner.
A way around this is to add the white-space CSS property to your template. You can add the following code to your #main identifier:
white-space:pre;
However, you will then have to be careful, since every space will be accepted in every post you make. More sensible is to create a new class in your template:
white-space:pre;
}
Then, when you write your post, use spaces as you would in a normal word processor, and surround the text which needs the white space either with a div tag with your new class or a span tag. for example:
This text doesn’t need white space.
<div class=”allow-whitespace”> But this one does</div>
Produces:
You can replace the div with span but it’s probably not necessary……..
This CSS property is compatible with IE5.5 and above, and all of the better browsers out there too.
