In xaml I can make whitespace relevant (that is not ignored) by using the xml:space attribute on a tag. Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms788720.aspx
Is there any way to make whitespace relevant in html?
Update:
Finally went with:
<p style="white-space: pre">

Although Aziz shaikh solution also works fine as well.
Don't know whether I understand your question correctly, but if you want to preserve the White Spaces in html , pre is the tag you are looking for
<html>
....
<pre>
hi this

</pre>
</html>
it will provide you:

you can specify the white space property in css
It is not about "relevance" but how the browser has been told to render the text. The pre tag renders whitespaces without collapsing them.
This rendering property can be controlled on any element by the CSS white-space property.
p.foobar { white-space: pre }
<p class="foobar">abc def</p>
The usual way is using a non-breaking space, as in , for horizontal whitespace, and <br> for a line break.
You can use <pre> with css styling. Check this fiddle as demo.
<pre style="font:inherit">
This is a
pre
test
</pre>

I want to display a sentence with some white spaces between two words:
"Hello
welcome"
-like this,
I don't want to use with pre tag.
is there such a tag for it?
You can use (Non-breaking space) to display white spaces without <pre> tag.
Try it, it will surely work but if it doesn't let me know in the comments, I will try my best to help you.
If you put in in a span, then use the white-space: pre;, you could get what you achieve. See the example:
#whitespace {
white-space: pre;
}
<p>
This will have normal white-space
<br><br>
<span id="whitespace">This will have nowrap white-space See?</span>
</p>
This is the same thing as the pre tag, but without the tag.
I'm trying to display a txt file in the browser while maintining it's format and layout. Now i have accomplished this with sucess using both the pre tag and white-spaces.
My problem with the pre tag is the space it adds before and after the line (i don't need that).
white-spaces works perfectly, but sometimes there will be a random line (or lines) wich will truncate.
I'm testing this only on IE (since it's for an intranet and folks here won't touch another browser).
When i see the source code on IE the lines wich are truncated have the correct white-spaces tag, but it does not display correctly on the browser.
<p style="white-space: pre;display: inline;"> Any kind of text here </p>
Is this the browser's fault or my mistake?
Is there a better way to do this?
Is there a way to remove the spaces before and after the line from the pre tag?
Thank you all
Pre tag doesn't add space before and after a line, other than the space in the text there (4 spaces before Any, 1 space after here).
There may be another tag that is creating margin. <body> by default, has 8px margins.
Also tried placing two <p> back to back, and no newlines separated the tags.
Testing the following in a html file:
<body style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier, monospace"><p style="white-space: pre;display: inline; margin: 0px;"> Any kind of text here </p><p style="white-space: pre;display: inline; "> Any kind of text here </p></body>
In the end i followed the suggestions here:
HTML <pre> tag causes linebreaks
Worked without a flaw.
I do know that HTML is insensitive to space. But what can I use to make empty spaces between words, or phrases. I have tried <p></p> such kind of tags, but the HTML automatically omit it.
Can somebody give me example codes?
You can use , aka a Non-Breaking Space.
It is essentially a standard space, the primary difference being that a browser should not break (or wrap) a line of text at the point that this occupies.
This will give you the space you're looking for.
The "pre" tag defines preformatted text. It preserves both spaces and line breaks.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<pre>This paragraph will be pre-formatted.
I hope this helps!
All spaces will be shown as it is in the original file.
</pre>
</body>
</html>
As others already answered, $nbsp; will output no-break space character.
Here is w3 docs for   and others.
However there is other ways to do it and nowdays i would prefer using CSS stylesheets. There is also w3c tutorials for beginners.
With CSS you can do it like this:
<html>
<head>
<title>CSS test</title>
<style type="text/css">
p { word-spacing: 40px; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello World! Enough space between words, what do you think about it?</p>
</body>
</html>
Use white-space: pre:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<span style="white-space: pre"> My spaces </span>
<br>
<span> My spaces </span>
</html>
“Insensitive to space” is an oversimplification. A more accurate description is that consecutive whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, newlines) are equivalent to a single space, in normal content.
You make empty spaces between words using space characters: “hello world”. I you want more space, you should consider what you are doing, since in normal text content, that does not make sense. For spacing elements, use CSS margin properties.
To get useful example codes, you need to describe a specific problem, like markup and a description of desired rendering.
To add non-breaking space or real space to your text in html, you can use the character entity.
Either use literal non-breaking space symbol (yes, you can copy/paste it), HTML entity, or, if you're dealing with big pre-formatted block, use white-space CSS property.
If you are looking for paragraph indent then you can go for 'text-indent' declaration in CSS.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
p { text-indent: 50px; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>This paragraph will be indented by 50px. I hope this helps! Only the first line will be indented.</p>
</body>
</html>
You can preserve white-space with white-space: pre CSS property which will preserve white-space inside an element. https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_text_white-space.asp
After, or in-between your text, use the (non-breaking space) extended HTML character.
EG 1 :
This is an example paragraph. This is the next line.
If you want to leave blank space in HTML while editing the website just use <br /> and copy-paste it under the last one and keep going like that until you have enough space. Hope it helps.
Can you tell me why the table cell with text is going out of the div?
My code:
http://nocleg-i.pl/1969/wyszukane/
It looks like a long text link is the culprit here. In cases such as these, you can simply use CSS to force word-wrapping. Just apply the following to your stylesheet and voila!
div.text_exposed {
word-wrap: break-word;
width: 500px;
}
(Please note that it is required to set a width for the word-wrap rule to apply)
As #Vinny Burgh said, the long link is the problem. However, Don't leave the anchor tags blank. Add some words to it so the url doesn't show up and the content doesn't break.
Missing text-Input text here
Basically, you have to put some text where I imply above.
Or, it could be a html bug, maybe some unclosed anchor like this:
<a href="the_actual_extra_long_link double quotes to close the href and a > symbol may be missing </a>
<div id="id_4f4e2a34992008a12697010" class="text_exposed_root text_exposed">
It's working good when I translated to English, browser does not support your language.
I think the problem is in your class. Remove the div class and and retry.
For some reason my paragraphs are displaying line breaks when there is no <br/> tag being used! So if I type content into the HTML and hit return a few times it gets formatted that way.
How can I prevent that? Can I not just get it to flow?
Browsers will automatically render paragraph tags to have some padding unless you explicitly style it not to... is this the problem?
If so, p {padding: 0; margin:0;}
If not, try giving us some of your code and a better explanation of exactly what the problem is.
Put this into your stylesheet:
p {white-space:normal;}
The <pre> tag will cause white space to display. So will a CSS rule like this:
p {white-space: pre;}
Could either of those be the problem?
If the text is being broken to make it fit, you cannot / should not try to stop the text from breaking. However, if your problem is that the text is breaking at an undesirable point and you would rather have it break at a more appropriate point, use the following:
<nobr>... Unwanted break point here ...</nobr>
enclose the unwanted break point with nobr tags.
And, add the following at the appropriate break point:
... some text ... Text on next line
