Thanks. I set (org-export-preserve-breaks t) in .emacs file and it does preserve the breaks, but not the white spaces: it doesnt indent depending on the nesting in the org-tree, and it doesnt indent if I press <space>. The text is shown to the left mode of the screen. Is there a way to change that?
