did you ever considered using <pre> to print this ?
Your visualization is probably falling apart because all the letters don't
"occupy" the same amount of space horizontally (and because multiple spaces
in html are stripped if not contained in a <pre>, and because a single
space varies with the font used )
You can turn the font of those lines to something like Lucida Console
(those fonts you need are called "monospaced" because every letter takes
exactly the same amount of space horizontally)
The same difference (hoping that you're reading from the google groups
interface than the emails) can be "simulated" here. 1st line without
spaces, 2nd line starts with 2 spaces, 3rd line starts with 4 spaces

as you can see, they are not aligned at all. However, if you wrap them in a
<pre>, then you can visualize it "correctly aligned", as the below example
