This is just a general FYI for folks:

Unlike a word processor or other text editors, when HTML* is rendered by browsers white space beyond one character is not considered. In order to force multiple spaces, one usually makes use of the " " (non breaking space) special character. Unfortunately for users wishing to get blank space while posting on a forum, HTML is normally turned off or very limited; you won't be able to use   in your posts as an HTML character.

* even though you may use bulletin code, it all gets translated into HTML when viewed.
e: You'll notice that line breaks are the same in a web page (i.e. without a tag the whitespace means nothing), but on a forum your line breaks are properly parsed and given appropriate tags (<br>) when rendered.


An alternative that is viable here would be to use the CODE board tags. Here's an example:

This is the           code tag.
       It should leave my     extra       spaces in.
                                                  See?
