Joshua does a great technical explanation here, and Mario gives the
standard solution.
- The spacing you wish is something best done in the display of the data
and not in the data, what if they changed order?
- A field containing a list of titles or tiddlers is typically space
delimited. So we often need the leading and trailing spaces not to be
included.
- Create a new tiddler and give it leading and ending spaces and you
will see how these end up trimmed and do not become part of the title.
- You can access fields in a different way if you really need to have
leading or training spaces as part of the data
- Transcluding not only brings the fields value, in but what follows is
it is rendered, I believe this is when the spaces are trimmed.
Try
'<$transclude field=afield/>' or '{{!!afield}}'
'{{{ [all[current]get[afield]] }}}'
The transcluded filter output demonstrates the field contains a leading
space of it has one.
