white-space:pre help

[Nadya]

in my css file i have the followingbody {background-image: url(sand.jpg) }h1 {font-size: 20pt; text-align: center; }h2,h3,h4 {font-size: 15pt; text-align: left; text-decoration: underline; }.preElement{ white-space:pre; font-weight:bold; color:navy; font-family:arial;}the problem is that white-space:pre DOES NOT work? Anybody has an idea?

It does, but it really depends on the content itself. white-space: pre makes it so that the result of

<div class="preElement">Some contenton more then one line</div>

Is rendered in the same way as

<pre>Some contenton more then one line</pre>

Would be.Apply that class to a non <pre> element that has a text that is on more then one line and you'll see what's the difference with and without it.
