Hi Lissi,
I'm sorry to have to be disappointing, but right now there's really no way to
create strings of spaces and have Bookshare keep them. The automated tools used
by Bookshare are not calibrated ideally for poetry or other kinds of unusual
formatting. The only thing that can really be preserved in terms of poetry
formatting is the original line endings--there's no way to preserve atypical
spacing or indents etc. It won't matter for people using speech to read it
with, but of course it will affect braille readers and anyone reading off their
screen. Sorry for the bad news,
Kellie
