[Zope] spaces to  

[Ben Avery]

<pre> is a bit nasty, if you have a paragraph of text as a single line, 
with no line breaks, it will put this one one huge wide line requiring 
scrolling.

This would be quite handy for me too, so I've hacked the source to add a 
new format - very easy to do, and useful if you would use it often enough.
retro-fit this diff to
lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Var.py

diff DT_Var.py DT_Var.py_bkp
416,420d415
< def space_to_nbsp(v, name='(Unknown name)', md={}):
<     """Changes all space characters to &nbsp; nonbreaking
<     """
<     if v.find(" ") >= 0: return v.replace(" ", "&nbsp;")
<     return v
436d430
<     'space_to_nbsp': space_to_nbsp,


then you can use <dtml-var myvar fmt=space_to_nbsp>
