Answer 1

For inline spacing you can use   inside the wordpress editor. Use it like     to space 3 times. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Don't use spaces to indent your paragraphs. Instead target your paragraphs with the CSS text-indent property in your theme's CSS. The indentation of a paragraph is presentation , and should be controlled by the CSS. The paragraphs themselves are content, and shouldn't have their presentation hardcoded into the HTML.

Separating the presentation into the CSS leaves you free to change/remove all the indentation at once any time later just by editing a single line of code, rather than having to edit every paragraph you've ever written.

 /* Use whatever selector will target your post's paragraphs in your theme's style.css */ p { text-indent: 24px; } 

 <p>This is a paragraph. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Cras at elit nibh, in pretium tellus. Donec id dui mi. Nam malesuada, velit sed porta mollis, dolor felis eleifend diam.</p> <p>Here's another one. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Cras at elit nibh, in pretium tellus. Donec id dui mi. Nam malesuada, velit sed porta mollis, dolor felis eleifend diam.</p>
