KevinH, thank you for your reply.
Here is a detailed explanation of how the tag works.

I understand how prettify works. I consider this behavior to be a bug.
In my case, instead of returning the carriage and inserting a series of spaces, I use the following code as a workaround:
Code:
<br/>\&\#160; \&\#160; \&\#160; \&\#160;
(No backslash needed)
This gives the desired result, but it's not very convenient.
