White spaces removed in HTML

Issue

When you insert a HTML document into Catalyst the white spaces have been removed except for one.

Reason

You can add as many white space characters into your HTML as you like but HTML will compress all white spaces into one character.

In HTML the following characters are white spaces:

Space

Tab

Carriage return

Solution

If you would like to add more than one white space character into your HTML, you need to use special tags.

For more than one single space use the non-breaking space tag:

&nbsp

For a carriage return use:

<br />

There are no special tags for tabs in HTML, but typically, when people use tabs in HTML, they are using them for layout in this case you should be using CSS to handle the layout in your HTML.
