HTML is also specifically designed to respond to <PRE> and </pre>. So what?
Extra spaces DO work. Font size and colour DO work. Return doesn't.
Why are you people replying to this thread if you haven't got a clue?
If you put many spaces (tens, maybe hundreds) after a word, you'll force the
next word on the next line. I did it. It works in Netscape 1, 2 and 3. Stop.
