Upon reading the reponses, one thing remains clear:
Without an example to look at, the options have no relevance.
You claim your client says the empty space is part of the information?
Show us.
Only then can the appropriate solution be isolated.

Hi,
Ok...I asked a question about how to preserve whitespace...I got a variety
of answers (use PRE, use nbsp, use CSS).
I shall clarify the question.

You'd have to define a "blank"
is it a tab -> \t, a newline -> \n, a carriage return \r
You can use pre or you can use "white-space : pre;" to PREserve the whitespace

Subject: [WSG] preserve whitespace
Hi,
I have an HTML page and I want to (well my client wants me to) preserve
leading blanks in the value of a table data cell.
I could use around the data.
Or I could use an for each leading blank.

Hi,
I have an HTML page and I want to (well my client wants me to) preserve
leading blanks in the value of a table data cell.
I could use around the data.
Or I could use an for each leading blank.
Any others?
What is the "standard" way to do it?
Cheers,
Simon
