Formatting poetry on ghost

Using Ghost

Is there an equivalent of a poetry mode for ghost that keeps whitespace but NOT a code block?

For example, substack has this. Here’s am example of what works for me on substack:

On ghost I had to make it a code block, and while code can be beautiful, I feel it’s not appropriate for poetry:

To preserve spaces, you can put the following code into Ghost settings > Code injection > Site header:

<style>
  p {
    white-space: pre;
  }
</style>

Ok, cool. This is working, but I think I’ll just put it on the post header of each post than site wide. See any issues with that?

Of course, you can put it on the post header.

Or you can still place it in the site header, but limit its effect to posts only by using the following code

<style>
  .post-template p {
    white-space: pre;
  }
</style>
