Use blank space to indent

I have a dropdown which uses the Ancestry gem and orders the option hierarchically.

It works great using the following code in the controller

@lines = ancestry_options(Line.all.arrange(:order => 'name')) {|i| "#{'-' * i.depth} #{i.name}" }

I have been trying to change the indenting character, defined by "#{'-' to a double space but rails ignores a space like "#{' '.

Is there a way I can force it to put a blank space?

The spaces are ignored not by rails, but by HTML. You can try to convert each space to   (non-breaking space), but don't forget to include .html_safe in the end of you string.
