I have a database , which has a "data" column with "TEXT" data type. So I want to fetch that row having data with new lines(like I like cooking) and also number of spaces ( like I'm cooking). I get the output as I like cooking ....and ... I'm cooking. I know the html neglects the blankspaces and newline characters and we need to use &nbsp for it... But when the data is enormous , applying &nbsp can be cumbersome. Can any one suggest any method to solve it ? I'd be very thankful to ur answers..

You should use white-space: pre for elements that need. And your HTML code should be in the certain box with a ID name, something like this:

<div id='test'>
// anything
<div>

then for CSS: // table and link

#test tr, #test a{white-space: pre;}
