Browser display strips spacing

hi

if db cell value contains front whitespace, dadabik strips this for the browser display:

5spaces
5spaces

but, it does preserve those spaces in the csv

browser should display data as-is, not mess with it

new to dadabik - looks cool - hoping to combine tables

thx :)

Browsers do not display spaces as is -- never have. Browsers render multiple spaces as one space UNLESS the   (non-breaking space) character is used or the <pre></pre> tags are used in the HTML code. This has absolutely nothing to do with DaDaBIK and everything to do with how browsers render HTML and the HTML programming language standards themselves.

If you want leading spaces, I suggest you use the rich_editor field and incorporate the   character where you need them.
