Any time that you put an ampersand into HTML coding on the website, it indicates that the browser is supposed to treat the following letters as being a special type of character. You then follow it with a semi-colon, I think, to indicate the "end" of the command. NBSP refers to "non-breaking space," or a space without a line break except when forced.

Therefore, if you have the following code, it inserts a single space:

ampersand nbsp semi-colon.

(and of course, you need the actual symbols for the ampersand and the semi-colon, or else it doesn't work, but I won't do that because it might screw up the post on this site).

The point of this is that any time a browser sees a number of spaces within an html document on the web, it compacts them to a single space. So if I wanted to indent something by five spaces, and typed five leading spaces into the html page coding, it would only display as a single space. Therefore, to actually create five spaces, I would have to put the ampersand nbsp semi-colon combination five times in a row (and no spaces in that section of coding either).

So back to CLL. Whoa, what started the fire this morning? I am very much looking forward to 4pm, to see the volume and the close. This is especially positive in light of the fact that UTS is flat right now.
