Which CSS white-space Property Values Don't Preserve New Lines?

This following CSS white-space property values do not preserve new lines (i.e. they're collapsed or removed):

• normal;
• nowrap.

To demonstrate this, consider for example, the following:

<div>
    <span>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed nec justo cursus, hendrerit tortor non, consectetur nisl.                                                                           Ut sollicitudin congue lorem quis egestas.

    Aenean tincidunt pharetra odio, a lacinia nulla semper quis.</span>
</div>

div { background: lightgoldenrodyellow; overflow-x: auto; }
span { background: lightpink; }

Based on the white-space property value specified, this will produce the following output:

From the examples above you can see that:

• New lines are not preserved (i.e. they are collapsed);
• Spaces and tabs are collapsed when white-space property value is normal or nowrap;
• Text wraps when white-space property value is set to normal;
• Text does not wrap when white-space property value is set to nowrap.
