The spaces weren't dropped in the generated document.  (Check the
source file yourself.)

However, it is a property of HTML that all whitespace is treated
the same.  That is, one space or a hundred, it doesn't matter.

If you need to retain the text as-is, you need to put it inside
"<pre>", or some style created with CSS to tell it to retain
such formatting.
