I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but here goes.
If I add spaces to the beginning of a line,

the text is rendered like this.

Is there a way to have actual spaces in the beginning of a line?

I don’t think markdown supports that, but you might be able to put   in front of the text to force it?

This is a very long line that’s supposed to be indented but might not be

Edit: yeah it looks like it worked in my client, markdown looks like

If you type the sequence   it will be converted to a space and I don't think it'll trigger the code thing.

This line starts with four of them.

It's not pretty, but it works?

If that one works then would the actual one for a tab work?

Testing one two.

It does! \o/

You don't need 4 things if you just do &TAB; which is how you do indents in a word document in the first place.

Edit: I guess it depends on what you use to view the site. :(

I don't see anything indented on yours though? I do on the one you replied to.

Oof. It works in my app (Jerboa) but I just opened the webpage and it doesn't have the indent. :/

Odd... It's literally HTML code. You'd think it'd work on a webpage. 🤷🏻‍♂️
