The white-space property will determine how spaces within the element are treated. This property takes one of three values.

normal (collapses multiple spaces into one), pre (does not collapse multiple spaces) , nowrap (does not allow line wrapping without a <BR> tag)

normal | pre | nowrap | inherit

pre        { white-space: pre }

p          { white-space: normal }

td[nowrap] { white-space: nowrap }
