Hi,

If I put a hyphen in front a word (space between), the space between the hyphen and the word disappears after I upload the site. Why is that?

Hi, 

It's a text-object. If I write "- test" in the object the space will disappear on the website ("-test"). I have also attached a screenshot.

Enable the HTML code in the page and after the hyphen insert the code "&nbsp" to each space you want to add (without the quotation marks!).  Wink

Thanks Marcus, it worked. But why does this happend? Why doesn't the text-object make a space automatic after a hyphen?

This is part of the HTML code. From the beginning it needed codes (tags) and ignored all spaces. To get a space you need to enter a code like above to say hey i want a space on this spot. This is only at start or end from text blocks needed.

Browse the net for some information about HTML

Yes, but why do I need to put a HTML code to add a space after a hyphen? I don't need that between two words, is just after a hyphen... ;)

Hello Michele,

Sorry for late answer. I created a new object as you said, with only a text object in it, and I still get the same problem. This only occur after I export the website on the web, not in the preview.

Hello Michael,

sorry but i can't reproduce the issue, it seems to work well for me. What browser do you use to view your site once online?
