Right - this is called "normalizing" the data - all whitespace is
effectively replaced with spaces, and then the space runs are reduced to a
single space. So you can insert <p></p> tags or <br> tags where there were
CRs, and for space runs replace " " for each space (160 is the
non-breaking space character in HTML).
