I've run into a bug on royal road. Where spaces get eaten by the program when the space is italicized, the space alone. <em> </em>

It turns from that.

To this.
Tho I'm not sure if there would be an easy fix from my end. I don't know what I'm doing.

However looking at other stories, they don't have this fucked up formatting.
