Why does the forum remove "extra" spaces ?

its very annoying when I want to do some really low level ascii art when explaining something, this makes even the most minimalistic formatting possibilities impossible. I dont think it worths the few extra bytes saved. Can I have my spaces left alone ?

have you tried the BBcode tag "code"?

An example:
label  lda #00
       sta $zp


or some ascii stuff (random dots - I'm no artist. :) )

In general try reading: http://noname.c64.org/csdb/help.php?section=usage#9

PS. It's not the forum that removes your spaces - it's the html parser in your browser. :)

...but still it could be argued that repeated spaces should automatically be encoded as   (more specifically, encode every second space as a  , and the rest as ordinary spaces) or whatever it takes to handle the issue. (But I guess it is quite useless as long as one isn't using a fixed width font anyway, perhaps...)

(Boring at work symptom in action again. Why do I even care remotely about this? :)
