[Pro] Text spacing

A repeated problem I am having: I open a new html text block, enter two words (a first and last name), hit the space bar for some separation, then type in another name, etc., then when I go to Preview there is no spaces between the names. It is driving me crazy! Any thoughts?

Do you mean you’re typing a run of spaces but you only get a single
space? That’s because web browsers always collapse runs of multiple
spaces into single spaces unless you use the ancient ‘pre’ (for
‘preformatted’) tags - which Freeway doesn’t provide, and which would
pose other problems anyway.

Really, you should try to find a different way to achieve this
logical separation, but there is a way to fudge it…

Type option-space for every other space character. The option-space
(option = alt of course) character is a non-breaking space, not a
‘real’ space, so browsers don’t see that as multiple spaces in a row.
