Hi,

    you can't display tab in HTML and the textarea box takes just plain 
ASCII. So any fancy spacing, indenting or such will either be stripped 
or shown as single spaces. And HTML also cannot display an arry of 
simple white space. You would need to convert that to non-breaking 
spaces. But isn't there a function that translates all kinds of things 
to the equivalent HTML code?
