Wrote a poem. Not sure exactly if it's anything, but it is what it is. Couldn't get the spacing/tabs to show up in the actual post, so I just screenshotted it and am posting that instead. Transcript in the alt text, if folks want that.

I like making weird games, cooking, and assorted other funny little hobbies.
Feel free to ask me questions about any of those things!

I know this is coming way too late to help anybody now, but I wrote an AHK script to turn all the multiple-consecutive-spaces in a block of text into s: https://cohost.org/RavenWorks/post/7028078-oh-yeah-i-guess-i-c
i think u can surround the whole thing with <pre> (for preformstted text) but i may be mistaken on how it works
if that does work youd have to replace the asterisk italics with <i> and </i>
there's some options for this! all use some amount of html/css knowledge however. The pre tag is a good idea, but you also have to undo the special formatting by using styles, so it'd look something like this: <pre style="background-color: inherit; color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;">YOUR TEXT HERE</pre>. That way it resets the formatting to cohost's defaults (but yes, you do still have to replace the asterisks with something else).
