You mean you want something like:

Link 1 text [several spaces] Link 2 text [several spaces] Link 3 text ...

You can't do that using the space bar. HTML collapses all whitespace in
the source code (spaces, tabs, newlines) to a single space in the rendered
page. The simplest way may be to use a table, set the width to 100%, and
put the links in table cells:

<table width="100%>
<tr>
<td><a href="link1.html">Link 1 text</td>
<td><a href="link2.html">Link 2 text</td>
<td><a href="link3.html">Link 3 text</td>
</tr>
</table>

I'd suggest that a simpler way is via CSS:

a {
padding-right: 20px;
}

You can use   in the code window to insert a space. For example the following string inserts 4 spaces "    "

You can't see it because you are using the stupid web interface to these
forums! 8)
