Question
Spacing with fixed space fonts
Using RoboHelp for Word 6, Build 099 for a large Help
project. We are converting from WinHelp to HTML Help. One topic
consists of a large block of text (lots of columns in a fixed space
font - Courier New) with popups annotating the text.
With WinHelp the vertical allignment is fine. When the HTML Help is compiled, multiple spaces appear to be compressed to a single space making the output unreadable.
For example we get :
|===============================================|
| |
| Developed by |
| |
| XP Software |
| |
|===============================================|
| XP Software November, 2004 |
| Data File Version ---> 11.7 |
| Serial Number: 42-xxx-0000 |
| XP Software (Evaluation) |
*===============================================*
Multiple spaces are need to make the right end of the boxes line up. Columns with numbers are worse.
Is there any way to compile forcing the multiple spaces to remain?
