Camping list - Apr 2012 - whitespace rendering

Hello !
perhaps this might be a n00b markaby question but...we are finding some
issues to display records with a simple space inside a view (both with
sqlite, mysql or kirbybase so it is not db related).

E.g. to have a formatted (with a simple space between the records so
nothing fancy like Stock Name  Apple Ticker  AAPL number of
stocks 10 bought at  580.13$  on  2012-04-17 Total position 5801.3)
list I have to do  something like this


def index
      kirby = KirbyBase.new
      stocks_tbl = kirby.get_table(:stocks)
      results
stocks_tbl.select(:name,:ticker,:tradeprice,:tradedate,:quantity,:totalposition,:recno).sort(+:totalposition)
      for result in results
        text ''Stock Name &nbsp''
        text result.name
        text ''&nbsp''
        text ''Ticker &nbsp''
        text result.ticker
        text ''&nbsp''
        text ''number of stocks''
        text ''&nbsp''
        text result.quantity
        text ''&nbsp''
        text ''bought at &nbsp''
        text result.tradeprice
        text ''$ &nbsp''
        text ''on &nbsp''
        text result.tradedate
        text ''&nbsp''
        text ''Total position''
        text ''&nbsp''
        text result.totalposition
        br


Now I am sure that there is perhaps a better way to do it ? :)
Thanks in advance
David

oh well I found my own answer this is intentional in maraby so best way to
do a table like  below - sorry for asking and answering my own question :)

table do
        tr do
         td ''Stock Name''
         td ''Ticker''
         td ''Number of Stocks''
         td ''Price''
         td ''Date''
         td ''Total Position''
       end
       for result in results
         tr do
           td result.name
           td result.ticker
           td result.quantity
           td result.tradeprice
           td result.tradedate
           td result.totalposition
         end
       end
