vB And Spaces

[Joe Page]

When you edit a post and add spaces, they don't show up.

I've tested this on my board and this board, does anyone know why?

[Xenon]

its a standart formating issue in html

use the [code] tag to also show spaces

[Joe Page]

I posted a football (soccer) result at my forums and now I can't lay it out properly because the spaces are not showing up.

[Xenon]

as said youse code tags for it:

 hello
   3 spaces
     5 spaces...

[Joe Page]

Ok, thanks

I didn't realise this before, that the spaces don't show up unless in code tags.

By the way, why was my original post edited?

There is a hack out that will allow you to add spaces inside posts. Check my profile here.

Can't you just make a vbcode for it?

vbCode tag: space
vB Code replacement:  
vB Code example: [space][/space]
vB Code explanation: Allows you to put spaces in your posts
Use {option} ?: No

Done

@mist: afaik it's a html thing, so you should enter the correct replacements
but then i think it's possible

@boofo: oh didn't realise it *shame*

@Joe: nothing was really edited, i just tested what you said *gg*

[Boofo]

Mist - you will get an underscore where the space should be unless you comment out the code for it in the php file. It is in the hack.

Xenon - That's ok, it is really a small hack, easy to miss, but very useful at times.

Boofo - i just tested it on my local board and it works perfectly
