white-space
Description
The white-space property for CSS specifies whether and how white space inside the element is collapsed and whether lines may wrap at unforced soft wrap opportunities.
Syntax
CSS
white-space: value;
JS
object.style.whiteSpace = "value";
Values
<'white-space'> = normal | pre | nowrap | pre-wrap | break-spaces | pre-line
normal
This value directs user agents to collapse sequences of white space into a single character.
pre
This value prevents user agents from collapsing sequences of white space.
nowrap
Like normal, this value collapses white space; but like pre, it does not allow wrapping.
pre-wrap
Like pre, this value preserves white space; but like normal, it allows wrapping.
break-spaces
The behavior is identical to that of pre-wrap, except that: any sequence of preserved white space or other space separators always takes up space, including at the end of the line and a line breaking opportunity exists after every preserved white space character and after every other space separator.
pre-line
Like normal, this value collapses consecutive white space characters and allows wrapping, but preserves segment breaks in the source as forced line breaks.
Initial
