Both LaTeX and org define new paragraphs by a blank line. Spaces at the start of a line only have meaning, in org, if the lines are part of a list (and never mean anything in LaTeX). I am not sure exactly what you want to achieve so it is difficult to suggest anything. Try separating your paragraphs with empty lines to see how much closer this gets you to what you want. -- Eric S Fraga via Emacs 27.0.50, Org release_9.1.13-894-gf79545
