I might have misread your post.  Where you wrote "...adds
two spaces", I interpreted that as two (vertical) spaces,
that is, two newlines.

The user option =E2=80=98sgml-basic-offset=E2=80=99 likely affects what you
want to change.  Its description is:

   sgml-basic-offset is a variable defined in =E2=80=98sgml-mode.el=E2=80=
=99.

   Its value is 2

   Specifies the basic indentation level for =E2=80=98sgml-indent-line=E2=
=80=99.

Try adding:

   (setopt sgml-basic-offset 0)

to your .emacs file.  You can also try it in a running Emacs
without restarting using:

    M-: (setopt sgml-basic-offset 0)

--=20
