Can I keep the space between lines in reading view?

What I’m trying to do

I would like to keep “enter” spaces in “reading” view.
In edit it looks like this

I want it to look like that in reading view as well (keep the space between lines)

but it changes to this

Things I have tried

search for something in settings

HTML collapses white space, so no, not easily.

There are some workarounds discussed here:

It also depends on why you want the space…

If it’s for poetry, you could put it in a code block (surrounding the section above and below in three backticks `) like this:

```
in time of daffodils.           (who know
the goal        of living is to grow)
forgetting why,remember how


in time of lilacs who 
                                        proclaim
the aim of waking 



                      is to dream,
```

For poetry that needs all whitespace preserved I would use <pre> (for preformatted text) instead of marking it as code. (But for most poetry I would just use line breaks.) Altho that would prevent any other formatting, so…I guess I’d think about it more.
