Hi 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 in the string appearing in the cell. is an html entity for the non breaking space character. You should use it when you want just that - a non breaking space to stop a line from wrapping (or user white-space : nowrap) - rather than to define any sort of fixed width padding or margin, as nbsp is a wide as a piece of string is long.
