Sorry!!! I'm constantly switching between the lists. My fault.

Usually referred to Web>page, probably the same if you use templa voila.

As it's the preview (as Steffen wrote) this has wlaways been the way. 
Along with the ugly way non-breaking spaces are displayed as entities.

Adding spaces before all (?) block level elements could be a solution 
(at least tr, p, div, blockquote, address and a maybe few others). As 
for adding line breaks: Line breaks will blow up the preview area. Of 
course thy could be added for TRs, but shouldn't they then not also 
added for paragraphs, etc? Maybe a small icon could be used instead.
