Issue with whitespace.

[levanton]

When the HTML type has two or more consecutive whitespaces in its content, all whitespaces are removed during rendering and none remain. "whiteSpace: 'PreserveAll'" doesn't help.

`import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import {NodeModel, HtmlModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-diagrams';

@component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']
})
export class AppComponent {
title = 'angular-diagram';
public htmlShape: HtmlModel = {type: 'HTML', content: '

text text

'}
public defaultNodeValues(defaultNode: NodeModel): NodeModel {
defaultNode.height = 50;
defaultNode.width = 50;
defaultNode.offsetX = 50;
defaultNode.style = { whiteSpace: 'PreserveAll' };
return defaultNode
}
}
`

Hi Lethanton,

After analyzing your code example, it appears that you haven't defined HTML tags to render HTML content. Additionally, when you intend to include a space before text in HTML, you should use the entity &nbsp. Please find the modified code example below.

Code example:

obj.shape = {
      type: 'HTML',
      content: '<div><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;text text&nbsp;&nbsp;</p></div>',
    };

Thanks for your answer! But you misunderstood me, my description was incorrect. I don't know why but github editor removed spaces between words and added before and after.

I don't want to include space before text in HTML.

here is an example

<p>text____text</p> # I got —> "textext" all spaces are collapsed

So, when I use more than one space in a row all spaces are collapsed and I get 0 spaces(usually I should get one space).

;  — works for me but it doesn't work for my case.

whiteSpace: 'PreserveAll'

— it helps to keep all spaces as it is in other types but not in type HTML

Hi Levanton,

In HTML, multiple consecutive spaces are typically collapsed into a single space when rendering. This behavior is part of the standard rendering rules for text content in HTML, and it applies to regular HTML elements. However, if you want to preserve multiple consecutive spaces in your HTML content, you can replace the regular space character with non-breaking spaces ( ) to preserve consecutive spaces. Please refer the sample and link below for reference.

Thanks. But it looks like GPT answers. Because I said that I got no spaces when I use multiple spaces. Not 1 space, I got 0 spaces when using 2,3 or more spaces in a raw.
