It has nothing to do with any program. It's a fact of how browsers
display HTML that all white space is "collapsed" into a single space.
If you want multiple spaces, you have to insert them as strings of
" " as you described, no matter which tool you use.
If you just want to control indentation, it's much easier to use
CSS (style definitions that occur in-line, in a STYLE tag, or
in an external stylesheet).
