Summary: How to get rid of the leading spaces with indented "pre" blocks

Categories: Obsolete

Question

If I use simple space indentation to create a <PRE> block, like this:

 #! /bin/sh

 echo "Hello world!"

it shows up with leading spaces. I'd like to be able to select and copy the text directly from the browser -- how can I get rid of the leading spaces?

Answer

Add the following line to your local/config.php:

 $BlockMarkups['pre'] = array('<pre>','','</pre>',0);

This is actually a bug in PmWiki -- now fixed for 2.0.beta29.
