Whitespace + Flex

The following doesn't retain its spacing between the anchor link and the span. This only happens with flex, as the children (whitespace?) become block elements.

<div className="flex"> <span>For extra assistance, please </span> <a href="#">contact support</a> </div>

To fix this, use white-space: pre or pre-wrap.
