And HTML gets rid of extra spaces, so I’m basically screwed online.

What? You don't want to type &ńbsp; twice to override the judgment call of the system? I hate the way modern HTML wants to force you into using style sheets when you just want to change a typeface's characteristics and change them back. Besides that, it doesn't work in these FR response boxes. "Deprecated", "Unsupported" etc. It is MY computer. Tell me what I asked for! That goes for search engines that default to give me 100,000 hits instead of the verbatim result that will give 0-5 hits of what I am actually looking for.

Ah, the good old days when you could put things in quotes, add + or - at the start of a string to really filter down to what you want. As you said, those days are long gone.
