White space in Label

I'd like to dynamically write a text using labels, and the fact that Label objects ignore spaces which are written at the very beginning or at the end is not helping. Things like " and " get cropped into "and". Is there any way around this? Thanks!

Label content mode pre will preserve whitespace, but causes other behavior you don't necessarily want. With HTML content mode you can use   which doesn't get stripped, but that forces you to sanitize your content. Dynamically created text and HTML content mode sounds like a fragile combination - just saying.

Thanks, Johannes!
