In HTML,   is a non-breaking space and a bad workaround IMHO for multiple
spaces (#20). The correct symbol for tab is "	" while we save the plain #9,
and " " for space (we save #20). Makes no difference though to change this.

Encapsulating multiple white spaces in <pre></pre> notation works as expected
but I'm not sure if combining <pre> with normal text in one line is possible.
In the end, HTML separates clearly between content and style and formatting
with multiple white spaces is out of scope (and NOB thereby). Not to forget
that the width of tabs can be defined freely in LibreOffice but is fix in HTML.
