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:

white-space:	Example Output
normal	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.
nowrap	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.

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.
