Similar to nl2br(), I use the following function to preserve multiple spaces when displaying user-supplied data as HTML. function sp2nbsp ($string) { return str_replace(" ", "  ", $string); } It preserves the right number of spaces in such output by replacing multiple spaces with "&nbsp" codes. It might be a nice addition to the PHP functions to complement nl2br(), if one like this doesn't already exist. I couldn't find one, at least. (Note that there should be two spaces as the first argument to str_replace. You'd be able to see that if this "note" software used something like sp2nbsp(). ;-) -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.nl2br.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+16391 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+16391 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+16391
