  You need to write in HTML code.

  Everything online is written in HTML code. We have a visual editor, but the space bar on it isn’t the same as actually spacing in HTML code.

  Either choose a theme that does what you want automatically, drop your expectations, or learn to code in HTML.

  Hmm, seems a 5 space paragraph indent is awfully usual and should be automatic with any format, but thanks for the explanation.
  :-) What’s the HTML code to indent something 5 spaces?
