No.
HTML "collapses" any run of whitespace to a single space character.
It does something akin to:
$html = preg_replace("|\\s+|", " ", $html);
on each chunk of non-tag content.
It does not ever "ignore" whitespace in content.

Your WYSIWIG tool is very broken, if the above is correct, since it is
ADDING a bunch of whitespace inside the content.

I'm betting that you have not correctly analyzed what is going on yet,
first and foremost.
