The pre tag is doing all the alignment,spacing and new line addition. One solution is that you save the data in the db along with the pre tag opening and closing. I have not checked it on my own.
Do tell me if it works or i'll think further.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
