There are a few good reasons why such a thing wouldn't work (but see the exception below). Recall that browsers generally ignore white space (spaces, tabs and new lines) and simply render a number of white space characters as one space. Then, what happens if you set your line to a lenght suitable for a particular resolution and font size, and your viewer is using different settings? One possible solution, although a bit clunky, would be to use a wordwrap function to output your text to a given width, and enclose the whole lot in <PRE> tags. White space will be rendered faithfully in <PRE> but normally the browser will default to a fixed font, unless the user has selected an alternate font and if that is a proportional font your output is screwed. The best way to handle it would be as someone has already suggested, use HTML and perhaps CSS to format your output. -- David Robley Temporary Kiwi! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
