Inserting blank spaces before text in a column of a web view which is not HTML

Based on a field value, I want to indent the description text in a column. I have no problems on the client side. However in a view which is viewed on the web the spaces don’t show up before the text. The HTML ignores the spaces and sticks the description to the left hand side of the column.

I know I could convert the view to HTML but that’s a PITA for reasons I won’t go into. This view is NOT a View Contents as HTML for those same reasons. It has to do with the backgrounds of individual cells and visual formatting and a lack of dev time to do it right.

Is there a way I could accomplish adding the spaces before the text so it appears indented in the web view or am I SOL?

Thanks for your advice as always LDD

You could try using “[ ]” in place of the spaces you currently have in your column formula.

Hahaha funny you should say that. I tried that but it interprets the text as litteral and displays the code instead of spaces.

Try “strong>  ]”.
