But say a little more about what you are trying to accomplish. This may not be the right way to do what you need. If you make a graphic text box showing what you want to accomplish, and post it here, one of us may be able to suggest something that is more correct.

What’s the best way to force an html item to maintain and display multiple white-spaces … or is there a better way of doing this?
(I want to add a teeny bit of visual formatting to a headline text).
All I want to do, is to increase the spacing between specific words in a line of text. It seems that HTML always collapses multiple spaces to a single space, so I’m looking for a way round that.
It looks as though the fact that your URL split across two lines (with the title tag at the end) the Markdown formatter decided to ignore it.
As far as your styling goes, you could create a new named style (call it “shoulders” or something like that) and use the Extended interface in the Edit Style dialog to add the following rules:
You could also use padding-left and padding-right, which does not require the display: inline-block. Experiment with the values, too – you can use ems here, too, and then the amount of space will change based on the font size.
