Formatting

Many text parsers trim down whitespace unless it's explicitly a code block. You see this often when people attempt to use interleaved spaces for emphasis. For example:

R E D   H A T

becomes "R E D H A T" in your Markdown interpreter.

I think WhatsApp supports code snippets with backticks.
