This is exactly the way HTML is defined. If you need this feature to
display your HTML properly, then your HTML is not proper :-)

I suggest you fix your HTML. You can e.g.:

* Use a table for horizontal alignment

* Replace the spaces with   (nbsp = NonBreakingSPace)

* Use the pre-element.

Do you really want to re-write it, because you don't want to fix your HTML?

A DTD dose not define how data is displayed, only how it is structured.

Fix your HTML.
