[archive] Leading Spaces - Report Label

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 01 May 2008]

Hello, again
I am moving a value to a Report Label in a graphical report created in Report Composer. The value contains leading spaces, but when the report is displayed, the leading spaces have been stripped out. How can I keep the leading spaces in?

Thanks

Are you creating an HTML report? If you, you should insert   instead of spaces.

Thanks, blacky
How would the coding look for &nbsp?

I haven't used the report composer, but I know a little HTML. If you put multiple blanks into an HTML file they are ignored (only 1 is used). To have multiple space characters you need to tell the browser to display them by using " " instead of white space in your report. So for every space you want to insert, you have to actually insert 6 characters -
