Is it possible to make each space to actually appear?

                    This sentence has 20 spaces in front. None show

[Taoki]

You mean that you cannot add like 2 spaces or more between words? Wow, some weird and annoying ideas these who code for forums have in their mind, like PHPb.

test                  test (20 spaces between)

If that doesn't work well and the words appear one next to another, then yeah, a code has to be changed. PHP can be incredibly tricky though.

It probably has to do with the fact that HTML only counts the first space, and unfortunately   (a code you can use to make a space in HTML) only seems to work when you're hard-coding, not posting to a forum.

[Taoki]

Yeah, I remember that from HTML coding and the "&nbsp thing, just that I knew that didn't apply to things like posts on a forum. If it's the case though, then nothing can be done about it, because it's the way every HTML page in existance is read by all web browsers.

So why does it function in kp? What's the difference?

[Aine]

KP and Kitsuhana use different board software, I believe. What one may allow another may not. Or using HTML in posts could simply be turned off over here, if phpBB does allow HTML in posts.

[Taoki]

Yes, this board is PHPb while KP is Invision software. I guess the people who made PHPb simply didn't take care of that problem like the ones who made the invisionfree system.

This is related to HTML itself, and not the board software. IPB has the same "problem", too, as you can see by this post (need to log in to view it, since it's in Forum of Randomnity). I didn't count the spaces I put, but I used a whole bunch in between each word, and there still is just one.

Setting the board to allow HTML won't work, because the board software will escape text/convert it to HTML codes ( like <, >, and   ), for security reasons, perhaps. The only way you could get multiple spaces to show in a sentence is by using the Code tag, like below:

Code:

This          sentence          has          10          spaces          between          each          word.

I don't see the need to have the capability to put more than one space between each word, but if you do need it, you can use the Code tag. Or, I can make a preformatted text BBCode that will work pretty much the same.
