PhpBB is not changing anything. Your web browser ignores white-space in HTML. Your indents are white-space, so they are ignored.
Code: Select all
text with multiple spaces
[code]
and appending [/code]

bbcode: [indent][/indent]
html replacement: <span style="margin-left: 30px;"></span>
content.css
and look for
Code: Select all
.postbody .content {
Code: Select all
text-indent: 50px;
