Well, if I got this correctly now, the best way I can think of is to use
a regular expression to convert the soft l-bs in the second-table text
to spaces. This can be done with javascript or server-side scripting
like PHP.

A javascript example of converting all whitespace to spaces is:

var stt="second table text";
stt=stt.replace(/\W/," ");
