How to add several consecutive spaces to the beginning of a line

oppoo

Hello everyone

I'd like to know how to add a few consecutive spaces at the beginning of a line, please!
I tried inserting "&emsp;" in the editor but it doesn't have any space effect.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem, thanks!

Environment: CentOS 8, PHP 8.0, Nginx 1.20, Mariadb 10.5, Flarum 1.0.2

oppoo what are you trying to achieve?

It's expected behavior in HTML and Markdown for multiple whitespaces to be collapsed to one.

If you're showing code, then you can use code blocks. If you're centering text, there's a [center] bbcode. If you're quoting, there's a quote bbcode and markdown. If you're developing a special formatting for your forum, you can create a custom bbcode using the Flarum Extension API, then associate some custom CSS to it.

Sure, it's possible
But it's a little unconventional as you have to use special characters

In Linux, it would be Ctrl + Shift + U, then type 2002 and hit enter. Then copy it to where you want spaces.
Windows will probably have a similar solution
