space_to

DESCRIPTION

The filter replaces all space (" ") characters with HTML's nonbreakable-space (" ") characters.

This is useful for places where you want strings to appear in a single line, without word-wrapping to the next line.

EXAMPLES

Example: Filter example

<div style="width: 80px;">
This is a very   small DIV and will   surely word-wrap this text to multiple lines.
With the filter applied, however, it will force the DIV to stretch and            render as single line.
</div>

<div style="width: 80px;">
[filter space_to_nbsp]
With the filter        applied, however, it will force the DIV to stretch and render as single line.
[/filter]
</div>

Example in action:

              
<div style="width: 80px;">
This is a very   small DIV and will   surely word-wrap this text to multiple lines.
With the filter applied, however, it will force the DIV to stretch and            render as single line.
</div>

<div style="width: 80px;">

With the filter        applied, however, it will force the DIV to stretch and render as single line.

</div>

Example: Filter example

<div>
[filter space_to_nbsp.compress]
Multiple    spaces    in a line   will render   as just   single  space.
[/filter]
</div>

Example in action:

              
<div>

Multiple spaces in a line will render as just single space.

</div>

NOTES

In HTML, multiple spaces in a line render as just one space on the screen. When the spaces are converted to " ", however, every nonbreakable space will produce one space character on the screen — it's how HTML works. Use the filter's compress when you want to preserve the behavior of only one space being visible on the screen.
