Is there a way to convert spaces that are logged from the output to ' '?

I know it will cause alot of bloat but my logs logs look ugly.

Maybe if it converted spaces that are more than one to:     if there was 3 spaces and such.

The release notes for 3.17 mention a way of fixing that. The <pre> tags fix the spacing problem, then you don't need  

When logging "as HTML" there is now an option to have the HTML written out include text colour and underlines.
To make this come out nicely your log file preamble/postamble should look something like this:

Preamble:



<html> 
<head> 
<title>Log of xxx MUD session</title> 
</head> 
<body> 

<table border=0 cellpadding=5 bgcolor="#000000"> 
<tr><td> 
<pre><code><font size=2 face="FixedSys, Lucida Console, Courier New, Courier">

Postamble:


</font></code></pre> 
</td></tr></table> 

</body> 
</html>

The prob with this is that when viewed with Internet Explorer it is like a view from MUSHclient set into a white background.
How can i get past this such that it appears in such a way that the screen is completely filled in the background color?

Here's my preamble:


<html>
<head>
<title>%N (%P) [%Y-%b-%d %a]</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=#DCDCDC>
<font face="FixedSys" size="3">
<pre>
Times (on the left) are %z.

Notice the HTML tag: "body bgcolor". Use that to set the colour of your background.
