If I have an equation with leading spaces, e.g. x := 3 evaluating it removes the leading spaces. This is annoying because, in org mode in particular, this breaks the meaning of the line semantically (e.g. in lists). Is there some way to preserve leading spaces? Thank you, eric PS - this happens with emacs -Q. I'm using Emacs 30. -- Eric S Fraga via gnus (Emacs 30.0.50 2023-05-02) on Debian 11.6
