But the thing is that amphora (haven't tested elsewhere) does respect
the spacing
even when it's at the beginning of the line, even in regular gemini
text (i.e not
preformated). However the proxis fail at this.
It works on amfora, but it does'nt on other clients (proxies,
lagrange, etc.).
I guess the best way to do what you want is to use preformated text,
it's the only way to really preserve the layout you choose.

I was about to write that the specification requires spaces to be kept,but it doesn't: it only requires the preservation of empty lines, notspaces. However, the portal at portal.mozz.us and elpher (an emacsclient) preserve the whitespaces.

Speaking of CSS, one way to keep the whitespace is to use "white-space:pre-wrap": it's what I'm using on my blog (to keep the double space atthe end of the sentences) and also what portal.mozz.us does IIRC.
