I want to create a space like the one &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; you just passed. This is done using `&nbsp;` in markdown. However, when I put `&nbsp;` inside a `md""` string macro or the `Markdown.parse("")` function in a pluto notebook, I get the letters instead of the space. I also tried parsing the string as a raw string, but any extra spaces still disappears.

Does anyone know how to create more space in the markdown in a pluto notebook?

You have to make sure the Markdown parser knows you’re giving it an HTML element by interpolating an `@html_str`:

That works great, thank you.
