How to have spaces in the beginning of the line?

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?

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

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

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. 🤷🏻‍♂️
