Code: [Select]
<pre>   if you allow xhtml
probably best if its a fixed-width  column  as it may
not auto-size properly, there mght be a css way ....</pre>

Code: [Select]
'<pre>     TEST   :'& clip(loc:mystring) & '</pre>'
 in the Display: prompt of the template

womm, perhaps i misunderstand, or fiddler would shed some light.

alternatively, you could prepend some  &nbsp;  characters
you still need to tick the allow xhtml on  the column though.

where are you using it in a browse Walter? in a browse column?

From Poul's answer;
'<pre>' & clip(loc:mystring) & '</pre>'
and make sure the column has "allow xHtml" ticked on.

cheers
Bruce
