Geeklog Forums

I tend to post a lot of source code on my geeklog site. Many times I use the "& nbsp;" HTML character to space things out properly. I am having a problem posting these characters - GeekLog seems to stript them when I hit the preview button. Oddly, it seems to work ok if I just submit the story without previewing. I added "& nbsp;" to the list of allowable tags in config.php, but since it's not really a tag, I don't think that's where I should be looking. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. BTW, my site is tylerbutler.com.

try using the entity for the ampersand. like thisI had to use the entity for the ampersand in the ampersand entity.

btw, i don't think these are null back spaces, rather they are non breaking spaces.

Thanks a lot for the help machinari. And yeah, I think you're right about the null backspace thing... I am dumb :-)

well, I thought that was working, but it looks like it isn't... Now it actually just renders the character as  , which isn't really what I am looking for. I want to space code out, so I actually want it just to be a blank character...

oh, i must have misunderstood what you wanted.
perhaps just hit your space bar a bunch more times.

or you could try the <pre> tag which keeps your spaces and doesn't add any extra line breaks, etc. from being stripped. You can add that tag to your allowable html admin list in config.php. I did it and it works.

just checked... <pre> is already in the list. have fun
