Trouble with line breaks in php include HELP!

Hi,
I am making a news section on my site which is only a pop-up window with a table in it. To make my client update it by himself I have made a txt-file and use php to include it.
I have also used the <pre> tag around the code to keep the formatting of the .txt.

This works fine except that in Explorer the line breaks disappear. Since the pop-up is chromeless and fairly small it is a real problem. In Netscape and Safari it works fine. the only way I can make it work so far is to type the <br> tag in the txt-file and take away the <pre>. But I can’t really make my client do that. Besides not knowing anything about html it’s kind of difficult to estimate when to make the line breaks…

Does anyone know how to solve this? :pa:

<?PHP include ("news.txt"); ?>
