Just a followup to this as I have stumbled across a rather weird
fix:
I was getting no formatting (or very little) when viewing the
..html files in view source in browsers even though the files
uploaded were formatted (and I am talking only modest line
breaks, I don't use indenting). No amount of reloading and
overwriting from the machine here to the server elsewhere fixed
the problem. When a file uploaded it lost its formatting on the
server. One can view the file that is on the server in FTP
programs by "opening in a a chosen editor on the local machine"
and doing this also showed the problem of lost formatting.
There seem to be two forms of overwriting:
(1) The normal one of grabbing the file.html from a local folder
and dragging over to the remote server window to tell the FTP
program to replace file.html with this file.
(2) Saving a changed "viewed from the server" file. In some FTP
programs one can view the contents of text files on the server in
any nominated text editor. And, what is more, change the contents
and save, the save being to the server file itself.
Now, if I replace the contents of the file as viewed according to
(2) by copy and paste from my local (formatted) files and save,
the formatting then sticks!
