whitespace

The whitespace property allows you to decide how you want the browser to handle spaces. The supported values are: normal, pre, and nowrap.

Set to normal to collapse all the spaces to a single space, set to pre to keep the multiple spaces or set to nowrap to prevent line wrapping unless there is a <br> tag. For example:

pre { white-space: pre;}
p   { white-space: normal;}
td  { white-space: nowrap;}
