Spaces in navigation text

[Bob Kemp]

Hi all,

I've noticed a related problem in that with longer menu items you have a 
choice between forcing things onto one line with  , or accepting the 
same (<br>) space within a menu item as occurs after an item, which does 
nothing for readability of each individual item.

Any further tips for dealing with navigation menu layout anyone?

Cheers,

Bob
