    Hi is there a tag in html to get rid of white spaces etc?

    e.g.
    <some tag>
    H
    E
    L
    L
    O
    </some tag> would get rendered like
    HELLO

    thanks?

    HTML doesn't regard whitespaces or linebreaks unless specified, like using the <pre> tag.

    you should use white space simply to make your HTML code clearer to read. if you wanted to print white space, you should use the <pre> tag (preformatted) or use a linebreak after each line. for example:

    <pre>
    H
    E
    L
    L
    O
    </pre>

    or

    <P>
    H<br>
    E<br>
    L<br>
    L<br>
    O<br>
    </P>

    both would print:

    H
    E
    L
    L
    O
