whitespace in R Shiny

Question

I have a problem with text in Shiny Dashboard. I would like to save original text formatting, but shiny removes the whitespaces I want to keep.

output$frame <         


        

Answer 1

You can use HTML(' ') to add 1 whitespace and HTML(' ') to add 1 tab space. In your code it wold be as follows:

output$frame <- renderUI({
        HTML(paste(
          p(strong("Name and Surname:"), HTML(' '),HTML(' '),"John Smith")
        )
        )
      })

With this you get two white spaces and output looks like this:
