Tabs or whitespace in entries??

  • I’m making the move from livejournal over to wordpress.
    Livejournal allowed me to simulate tabs in my posts by using a bunch of
     
    This doesn’t seem to work in WordPress. It prints the very last   and ignores all the rest.

    Thanks.

  • Hi,
    Did you ever get an answer to this? I’m having the same problem–I sometimes post code snippets, and indentation is very helpful there.

    This will work too, though it’s a bit kludgy:
    Surround EACH LINE with <pre></pre> HTML tags.
    Here’s an example. Instead of typing:
    Hi there!
    type:
    <pre> Hi there!</pre>
    You can’t just surround an entire multiple-line chunk with one <pre></pre> tag because WP automatically writes tags at each line break, and your XHTML won’t validate with “preformatted” tags surrounding “paragraph” tags. There’s probably a more elegant way to deal with this by altering the CSS, but I’m not sure what it is.
