How to properly pull text from MongoDB while preserving spaces and indents?

Question

MongoDB

Faced a problem. Saving a huge piece of text in MongoDB removes spaces and indents where they should be. When I render them in html, there is no indentation. How can I save them? I use NodeJS, MongoDB and Handlebars. I would like to read articles about this and I will be very grateful if you throw off a couple of good articles on this topic.

Answer 1

Is it Mongo's fault? The key phrase in the question is "output them in html". And by default, when displaying html, any sequences of whitespace characters (tabs, spaces, newlines, etc.) are displayed as a single space.
To display the text as it is - with all whitespace characters - you must use either https://webref.ru/html/pre or https://webref.ru/css/white-space .
