Acronym Title

Hello, The reason I`m back again is to pose this question to your expertise in the off chance somebody will have a solution (not an alternative). I know how badly I need to sit myself down and make the switch to xml (or even css), but I won`t do that until I understand html better. Here is my question: Out of curiosity, I`ve managed to create an acronym title for my 28-year calendar cycle <http://r.aguirre.home.att.net> which drops down the calendar for the month. It wasn`t easy and still needs some minor adjustments. The problem i am having is the spacing and the fixed width. What would make an alternative method of maintaining a double space to seperate characters. html has the habbit of converting double spaces into single spaces. I`ve tried using key combinations for em-spacing, as well as en-spacing, but that just incurs a weird character into my monthly calendar. If you followed the hyperlink to my index page, find the link for the current month "July 2005" where there is an acronym title attached to it and see for yourself the awkward manner the first and second week display. Another question is whether there is some way to specify that the acronym title display in teletype, or any other print that has fixed width characteristics. I think that this question is irrelevant because it actually does display fixed width and it`s just that double spacing glitch that is throwing me off. -- \ / � / \ http://r.aguirre.home.att.net
