For spacing within a line - to separate or align numbers for example, you can just use quotes " " with any number of spaces.
Explanation:
For example:
Unformated numbers are too close to text:
Formatted with extra space:
This is good for aligning columns of numbers:
Formatted:
You can use a "\" character within AsciiMath to create a single space. And the ">" to perform an indent:
For example
hashtag 3cm hashtag becomes
# 3cm #
And we can introduce a space using "\"
hashtag 3 \ cm hashtag becomes
# 3 \ cm #
I often use this with integrals as the maths can sometimes appear a little squeezed, for example, the default formatting is
hashtag I = 1/2int_a^b y dx hashtag
# I = 1/2int_a^b y dx #
But I prefer the spacing as follows:
hashtag I = 1/2 \ int_a^b \ y \ dx hashtag
# I = 1/2 \ int_a^b \ y \ dx #
It's a subtle change :)

When I first started using Socratic (mathematics) you could use
hash " " then some maths hash
Suddenly it was decided that these spaces would be stripped off. Consequently I had ( and probably still do have ) some historic solutions where the formatting (spaces) has been 'disturbed'.
Now I use symbols that have the colour white. They can not be seen against a white background. Having said this sometimes you can get away with spaces but only if in the middle of a string.
Example 1:
hash "This is a set of spaces" hash
Example 2:
hash 2x xx3 hash
Example 4:
hash " " 2x xx3 hash giving
Perhaps they allow them again in this particular structure. However the colour white is guaranteed to work
hash color(white)("some letters to spaces out") hash
It does not matter which letters you use. I tend to use a combination of the letter d and the full stop. The full stop is not as wide a spacing as a letter.
