urlconnection - formatting problems.

Morning all,

Im working right now on a problem that i created.

We have a jsp file which is used to print a formatted output to the
screen. This jsp file was written with all the code basically on the
same like, when the line wrapped a <%-- --%> was used to escape the
return character because the result i get now that ive reformatted it
is:

--
ObjectID
:

89

Title:




The Object
-----
and so on.

Does anyone know how to make a jsp page ignore formatting done simply
to lay the code out in a more understandable way?
