Space in html output in pluto notebook

I am able to create whitespace when using the string macro for markdown. However, Markdown.parse acts differently, and does not include the whitespace.

But I have to use Markdown.parse to assemble strings to a table, as the string macro wants actual newlines instead of \n:

Is there a way to have the space when calling Markdown.parse? Or alternatively, constructing tables with \n instead of actual newlines with the markdown macro?

I’m having the same issue. What is the intended use of @md_str vs Markdown.parse? What is their relationship to docstrings? I hope the different formats and their intended use will be formalized and documented.
