Special Characters in Descriptions

I'm trying to get tabs delineated in the description field of Profile.

What kind of language do I have to use to get Character Entities to be recognized?

for instance:

"&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp & # 09 ;&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp"

The page you actually type in for description:

When I look at the page source for the area that has the Description Text Field, it is properly fomatted.

The page you see for the Profile:

The formatting does not show up. However When I view the page source the formatting IS there. ???Confused???

Thanks Jaime for getting back to me on this

Whatever formatting you do in edit view does not take effect in view view. I know it may not seem all too important because executive users don't see profile descriptions, but the same thing happens in task comments even with the FCK editor. And we use the "Email this page" as a tool for our clients.

For example a task with the advanced html editor turned on:

I just recently tried to type this into the textarea:



<p>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Just checking on the ability &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;to add
spaces and tabs</p>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>Some text</td>
<td>Some text</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>Some text</td>
</tr>
</table>
*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;blah

When I hit save, here is how it looks


<p>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Just checking on the ability &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;to add
spaces and tabs</p>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>Some text</td>
<td>Some text</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>Some text</td>
</tr>
</table>
*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;blah

I would expect it to look like this:


*      Just checking on the ability        to add
spaces and tabs
