Recently, I had a list of command-line options in a table, and my browser was automatically inserting a line-break in-between the hyphen and the option character.
< td >
& lt ; code class = "option" & gt ; -- help , - h & lt ; / code & gt ;
< / td >
To prevent this, I simply added a little CSS:
<style>
code.option
{
white-space : nowrap ;
}
</style>
NOTE: Never use the
HTML directive – it is obsolete!

You must use all three lines together for it to work…YMMV:
$ escaped = str_replace ( chr ( 10 ) , '\n' , $ original_value ) ;
$ escaped = str_replace ( chr ( 13 ) , '\r' , $ escaped ) ;
$ escaped = preg_replace ( "/(\r?\n)/" , "\n" , $ escaped ) ;
