Q: Why is there unexpected space at the beginning of a paragraph in an answer?

LSpiceIn @GabeK's nice answer to @JonBannon's question Each mathematician has only a few tricks, there is unexpected space at the beginning of the third paragraph: My first thought was that there might be a macro definition or something at the beginning of the third paragraph, so I opened up the edit ...

The line immediately preceding "The named..." has a single space in it. Apparently, this causes this space to be rendered. The editor may be using the newer or different Markdown renderer, for example, which is why you cannot see this space during editing. — Dmitri Pavlov 18 hours ago
I will just add that the character mentioned in the previous comment seems to be Non-breaking space. In case it is useful, you might check what you get for that post from the Posts table and from the PostHistory table. — Martin Sleziak 4 hours ago
Thanks, @DmitriPavlov! That seems to be an answer, so, if you'd post it, then I'd be happy to accept it. — LSpice 10 mins ago
Thanks, @MartinSleziak! I'm not sure how to use the Posts table and the PostHistory table. When I click the links you have supplied, I see one row of a table returned from a query, including the partial rendered HTML of the post, and clicking on the link takes me to the post. How should I extract more information (e.g., the full rendered HTML)? — LSpice 9 mins ago
For any query (as for those two) you have an option to Download CSV.
In one case, you'll get the HTML version of the post. In the other case, you'll get the Markdown
I think it should be identical to what you see on the site - but at least it is another way to get to the same result.
@LSpice You can simply ignore those queries if they are of no use for you. In any case, I left a few short messages in chat - feel free to ping me there if some additional explanation could help. — Martin Sleziak 23 secs ago

@MartinSleziak, thanks! I in no way meant to imply that the queries weren't useful, only that I didn't know how to use them, but your chat messages addressed that. — LSpice 29 secs ago
