If I have a heading like this:

Is there any way to tell export that free form text like this is
allowed?

What you want is verbatim text, or "Literal examples", not really
free-form. HTML by definition treats runs of whitespace as a single
space, so you need to do something to get it to treat the text as
separate lines. You have (at least ;) two choices in org: example
blocks or verse block.

Here's an example:

---- 8< cut here 8< -----

* Literal text

#+BEGIN_VERSE
this
is
a
verse
#+END_VERSE

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
this
is
a
verse
#+END_EXAMPLE

And the html output:

#+BEGIN_HTML
<p class="verse">
this<br  />
&#xa0;&#xa0;is<br  />
&#xa0;&#xa0;&#xa0;&#xa0;a<br  />
verse<br  />
</p>

<pre class="example">
this
is
a
verse
</pre>
#+END_HTML
