For example, if I want all line breaks to be exported exactly with the same indentation as I have for them in my specific document, there seems to be no way to do this.

Now, I found that AsciiDoc solved this somewhat by allowing the user to insert [/hardbreaks] format your text o d d l y [hardbreaks/] at the beginning of a particular section within a document, and if this is inserted, then everything would be rendered as it is seen on screen upon export as well. Granted, I am not suggesting that this preservation should be Org-Mode's default behaviour, not at all.

Hello Org-Mode community,

I am rather n= ew to Org-mode itself and have still a lot to read about in the official ma= nual, but I cannot seem to find a method for specifying document specific b= ehaviour in Org-Mode.

For example, if I want all l= ine breaks to be exported exactly with the same indentation as I have for t= hem in my specific document, there seems to be no way to do this.

Sure, I can use \\ to create a new line break, and that wor= ks great, but if I indent my text differently,=C2=A0
