The trouble with <code> is that it ignores whitespace. (At least with IE, didn't test with Netscape.) People will be posting a lot of code snippets, and I want it to preserve spacing like <pre>. But I'd rather have it break, like <code>. So maybe there'd be a way to convert all spaces within a <code></code> to '&nbsp;' with regular expressions? I can resort to just looping through the string character by character, but I thought maybe it could be done easily with regular expressions. -- Matthew Leverton - matthew@aeroinc.net ORIGINAL MESSAGE --------------------------------------------- Hi Matthew: While this isn't exactly what you want, maybe it'll work... Instead of converting [code] to <pre>, turn it into <code>.
