Hello Org-Mode community,

I am rathe= r new to Org-mode itself and have still a lot to read about in the official= manual, but I cannot seem to find a method for specifying document specifi= c behaviour in Org-Mode.

For example, if I want al= l line breaks to be exported exactly with the same indentation as I have fo= r them in my specific document, there seems to be no way to do this.
<= div>
Sure, I can use \\ to create a new line break, and that = works great, but if I indent my text differently,=C2=A0

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 for

this indentation will not be preserved as such upon PDF export.

Now, I found that AsciiDoc solved this somewhat by allowing = the user to insert=C2=A0

[/hardbreaks]
                   format                   =
    your   text o d d l y

[hardbreaks/]
at the beginning of a particular section within a document, and if this = is inserted, then everything would be rendered as it is seen on screen upon= export as well.
Granted, I am not suggesting that this preserva=
tion should be Org-Mode's default behaviour, not at all. I want only ce=
rtain portions of my book to be formatted in this odd way, the rest should =
be perfectly precisely aligned, as is the case at this very time.

Thank you for your time and considerations towards this p=
roposal.
