1 CSS 1 property: white-space

[edit]

CSS 1 property: white-space

This property declares how whitespace inside the element is handled. Values have the following meanings:

normal: This value directs user agents to collapse sequences of whitespace, and break lines as necessary to fill line boxes.
pre: This value prevents user agents from collapsing sequences of whitespace. Lines are only broken at newlines in the source, or at occurrences of "\A" in generated content.
nowrap: This value collapses whitespace as for 'normal', but suppresses line breaks within text.
pre-wrap: This value prevents user agents from collapsing sequences of whitespace. Lines are broken at newlines in the source, at occurrences of "\A" in generated content, and as necessary to fill line boxes.
pre-line: This value directs user agents to collapse sequences of whitespace. Lines are broken at newlines in the source, at occurrences of "\A" in generated content, and as necessary to fill line boxes.
