I’m reading the [spec](https://spec.commonmark.org/0.30/#code-spans) and can’t understand why Dingus parses this input this way:  
[https://spec.commonmark.org/dingus/?text=` %20%20%20%20%20%20a %20%20%20%20%20%20b`](https://spec.commonmark.org/dingus/?text=%60%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20a%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20b%60%0A)

Why are the “indenting” spaces removed? Is this a bug?
