It's a very simple question.

I've published an app , and in the description I have some bullets that need to have indentation.

How do I add indentation to the app's description on the play store?

OK, I've found a workaround:

for empty space, use "&#8195"; . just put this string as it is inside the play store description.

For example, if you wish to put a bullet with 2 spaces before it, use (without the '"') .

"  •"

This is based on this post.

Also, you can just put the real character instead (without the '"'):

" "

Looking through the description of even Google published apps, this doesn't appear to be possible via markup - you simply have to do the bullets yourself, which looks ok for one level, but as you have found not very extendable to multi level bullets.

For example

I suggest that rather than use bullets and then hyphens as your 2 levels, you try how you think bullets and two bullet characters look as your two levels.

EDIT: A previous answer detailed the HTML tags you can use, so one possible workaround is to have your first level bullets say be bold (using <b>) and the second level bullets normal or italic (Using <i>).

Is there maybe blank characters that can be used ? like whitespaces ?
As far as I can tell, all whitespace at the start of a paragraph is stripped, and what you think of as bulleted lines are each treated as their own paragraph
Isn't there any way to overcome this? Any workaround whatsoever? I know for sure that there are some HTML tags that are supported. Isn't there any tag for this?
All the advice that Google gives is simply that you can have up to 4000 characters. I've never found any HTML tags that work - what ones do you think have an effect?
OK - I've found the previous answer that mentioned HTML tags, which I see you have already commented on. stackoverflow.com/a/18746972/3383428
