APEX 5.0 - HTML multiple blanks masked to single blank

Joe1Aug 16 2021

I have an application where a string column contains multiple spaces, and the pages display this as a single space. On the Interactive Report pages, I was able to fix this by editing the report attributes and setting the "HTML Expression" as <PRE>#CASE_NAME#</PRE>; image 1.
But I have another page that is a DML form, not a report, and I can't figure out how to show the multiple spaces.
Image 2 shows the DML form where the spaces are masked. Image 3 shows where I tried to apply the <PRE> tag. The <PRE> tag worked somewhat, but it looks like it added a line feed or carriage return, and moved down some amount of pixels; see image 4.
Ideas on how to display the spaces without the line being moved down?
