There was quite the flame war on this topic about a month ago, you might
want to check archives...  You will certainly get some responses in the "why
would you do that", "it's old-school", and "it's wrong" variety.

But I insist on it as well on my site, and I have done a great deal of
research on how to accomplish it.  In short, there is no good CSS way to do
this, and there is really only one way to accomplish it: with
"&nbsp;<space>".  This preserves line breaking and provides the necessary
space.

I do it reliably through PHP on my site, if you want to see my regular
expression code that does it, talk to me off list, and I'll happily give you
the code (I was attacked the last time I posted it...).  If you want/need to
do it with HTML, I can only think of inserting it by hand... A real PITA.

HTH,
Chris
