Enhancement Request: WYSIWYG for cell display

I want to be able to display a cell using WYSIWYG, especially in how the display deals with leading spaces.

This request has also be posted to the Product Enhancement Request form, along with a video.

I do NOT mean Rich Text, that is a different issue (one to which I am mildly opposed)

Functionality: Formatting

I'm old enough to smile when I see "WYSIWYG". But I'm still counting my time with smartsheet in months, .... can you outline a case where this feature is useful to you? I'm sure it is an excellent request, I'm just interested to know how I would also be able to leverage this feature (if/when available). Thanks!

Use Case 1:

Programming code snippet (indentation matters)

Use Case 2:

Directory tree more visually appealing with spaces.

I have two work-arounds:

Use underscores or periods like this

______A line

............Another line

or use a screen capture instead of text. The main draw back to an image is that unlike word wrap, it is a pain to resize for visually showing or hiding.

I would like to set up an automation that, each morning, checks to see if there are records waiting to be approved, and if there are, sends an…
How to Share Single Workspace Folder?
I have a workspace that I created with two subfolders. A user needs to have access to only one of them but when I have that folder selected, I can only share the entire workspace with them.

When I accepted, I was told I need to upgrade in order to edit or contribute. Can you please explain why this is required? It seems unreasonable to need multiple…
