Spaced text

[Boris Le Ninivin]

Well, I'm not saying you shouldn't want this or anything, but...

To me, this is not a question related to markdown, but to css instead 
(letter-spacing property).

All you would have to do is to add :

em {
     letter-spacing : 1ex;
}

in your css code.

And it would solve ALL the cons you've listed. ;)

Hope it will fit your needs.
