Replace the spaces with   (the HTML escape sequence for a space). Whitespace is ignored by HTML interpreters, so any markup with more than 1 space next to each other will be treated as a single space.

Also, as @alk suggested, you can also surround your string with <pre></pre>: Text in a element is displayed in a fixed-width font (usually Courier), and it preserves both spaces and line breaks.

To preserve spaces in the html when shown in a web browser, use the white-space: pre CSS style.

As far as I can see "a b" is the same as "a b" but I can see what you're trying to say. what you could do is remove all the spaces before posting and keep an array of their locations. Then use JavaScript at the other end to add back in the spaces.

More recommended is using the answer already given but I thought I would put something different out
