For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
css - handling white space and pre

"Thank goodness for the <pre> tag" I used to say - for it give the ability to copy and paste plain text output into a web page and get content up on line very quickly. But alas, the tag is now rather 'old hat' and we're told that it really shouldn't be used - "these things should be done with styles. But which one?

The white-space: pre; attribute replaces the <pre> to </pre>tag pair ... and with a fixed width font family such as courier, you'll find things line up just as they always did. You'll find examples all over our solution centre - for example here where we're presenting MySQL outputs.


Here's the style we used in full:

.codescript {
font-family: "Courier New", Courier, mono;
font-size: 11px;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 700;
font-variant: normal;
color: blue;
margin: 0px;
padding-top: 12px;
padding-bottom: 12px;
padding-left: 12px;
text-indent: 0em;
white-space: pre;
}
