Echo collapses multiple spaces to one. Is there a workaround? echo("e e e"); ECHO: "e e e" -- Sent from: http://forum.openscad.org/

Using &nbsp; for a space seems to work. Perhaps that should be an automatic substitution.

So you can do something like: echo("e&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e"); echo("<pre>e e e</pre>"); https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Other_Language_Features#Echo_Statements Hope this helps, - Kristian.

I realized it was the HMTL parser does the collapsing so my workaround was this echo("<pre>w w w"); ECHO: " " Introduces a line break but i can live with that. Tanks. -- Sent from: http://forum.openscad.org/

function spaces(n) = n <= 0 ? "" : str("&nbsp;", spaces(n -1)); echo(str(spaces(10), "hello")); ECHO: " hello" On Sat, 16 Feb 2019 at 11:41, nop head <nop.head@gmail.com> wrote: > You would print n &nbsp; instead. > > On Sat, 16 Feb 2019 at 11:32, TLC123 <torleif.ceder@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Nice but how can i print n number of spaces >> If i want to indent by say recursion level >> >> >> >> -- >> Sent from: http://forum.openscad.org/ >> >> _______________________________________________ >> OpenSCAD mailing list >> Discuss@lists.openscad.org >> http://lists.openscad.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.openscad.org >> >
