Whitespace

Question

As we know html ignore whitespace as it also do in <p>, but what if i don't want html to ignore for that <p>
For example:
I code a <p>Date: - - /--/-- Roll no. - - </p>
Output:
Date:--/--/-- Roll no. - -
But i want the output should be same as i wrote between tag. And also the date and roll no. Should be in same line, how should i bring that space between them?

Answer 1

If you want to convert text with spacing to HTML format, try to use javascript

Answer 2

You can write a non-breaking space using &nbsp; -- it's a spacebar which isn't removed.

<p>Date: --/--/-- &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Roll no. -- </p>

Answer 3

Another thing you can experiment with is the <pre></pre> tag.
