RE: Steemit Markdown Basics for Beginners

in #steemit • 7 years ago

thanks - i use "& nbsp;" quite regularly - its good for making a new paragraph ... but if i want to make a space on the same line.. I should be able to use the space bar like in Word.... but no matter how manny spacs I put in ... steemit markdown defaults to ONE space... si I'm back to where I started and I never found a good answer to my question - so if anyone knows .. I would totally appreciate it.

    I thought putting multiple " " would add multiple spaces on the same line like so:
    steem          it

    Issue with controlling the spacing between words/characters is the word wrap in Steemit's style. It is set to make Steemit as responsive as possible for tablets and phones. There are ways to do it but mobile view of post may differ.

    📌 Possible Solutions:

    • You can use HTML <pre></pre> tags to get your desired function.
      • Demo: 
        P R E                 FORMATTED      Text
    • Aside from &nbsp; there is &ensp; x2 as big &emsp; x4 as big.
      • For increased distance between elements, use multiple times.
    • One last way, you can use a transparent graphic to specified width.
      • Code: Spacing![](http://de.mo/50px-spacer.png)Example!
      • Demo:

    📌 If you want more control of post layout, learn steemit HTML.
