stupid question about white space

[Wolfie7873]

Can I make a string literal in HTML?

I am creating a procedure in C++ to programatically create an HTML file. The text version of the file will contain white spaces buffering the pieces of a line from one another. How do I tell HTML to not ignore those spaces? I'd rather not have to implement some sort of table, but I will if necessary.

The table, however, would need to have no borders and the columns would be of different sizes.

You could try replacing all the white spaces with

Here's a good list of all the HTML escape characters.

Non-breaking space is  

-Ron

We all play from the same deck of cards, it's how we play the hand we are dealt which makes us who we are. -Me

Or you could just wrap your output in <pre> tags.

pre is powerful, but you'll still have to use lt and gt for comparisons and angle brakets arround templates... Pre is pretty good though.

No worries, nothing but alphanumeric characters in this output...Pre will work just fine...
