Inconsistent Spacing?

I use html to enter the content on pages in SCCP. That way, I can be sure of how I want it to look. When I do coding, I space to the next line and use tabs to keep the code organized so I can edit easily.

Sometimes, SSCP will generate pages that look exactly what my html code says. Other times, it puts in line breaks (br) wherever I have pressed the return key to go to the next line.

Has anyone else noticed this? Ideas for remedies?

All code needs to be between [[[ Code here ]]]
I've often left out or mixed up my brackets when creating custom code for my shop.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

All of my code is between the triple brackets. That's why it's a bit odd. I'll keep watching and see what happens.

Maybe you can narrow down what character causes it.

I'm not sure yet, but I think it's when I mix text inside and outside div tags.

I must say, though, despite the small quirks that I find, I'm beginning to like CC's programs better than even some of the mainstream ones for web site programming. (The only program I haven't been able to replace is Fireworks. I can't find its equal for vector-based image creation. Web Image Studio has several of the features, but not all of the ones that I need.)

Unless you have really specific reasons (such as being within a script) text in the ssc programs is better entered manually and not within any coding. This gives you full control over the text with the built in text editing tools. If you need it to be in any special format such as centered then you put the tags separately within brackets like so:

[[[<center>]]]your text here[[[</center>]]]

This formats not only easier and better, but has no conflict with any other CSS specifications this way.
