For my purposes, though, white-space normal compresses consecutive spaces. I wanted to preserve consecutive spaces, and do a pre tag, but with word wrapping. In Safari, white-space: pre-wrap does this just right. in IE7, that doesn't wrap. Instead I used white-space:normal, which compresses consecutive spaces. Wish there was a better way. good.

It made me write this PHP hack to make it work, which could probably be made into JavaScript with ease as there aren't any PHP-specific functions there.
