Does this handle lines starting with a TAB? When I've used preformatted
text blocks, it's mostly single lines and I've indendented them using a
TAB. So for me it'd be fine if a tab always resulted in preformatted text.
It'd also be fine if a single TAB only resulted in preformatted text when
$EnableWSpre is positive but less than or equal to eight.
I'm also looking at the possibility of introducing (:wspre:),
(:nowspre:), and (:wspre #:) markups so that the leading whitespace rule
can be selectively enabled and changed within page markups.
I think those could be more verbose, or merely have a more verbose
alternative... not that I have an immediate suggestion unfortunately.
How about '(:$EnableWSpre=0:)' etc? It's still not easy to understand,
but at least closer to what you have in the configuration file.
Finally, this release introduces a new 'pre' wikistyle, which is a
shortcut for setting the CSS 'white-space: pre' property. However, we
still need to experiment with this setting a bit, in order to get
newlines handled properly around blocks marked with %pre% or >>pre<<.
Or possibly a directive for preformatted text in general, i.e. (:pre:),
that you can give different arguments to? Maybe that would be useful if
you could then select different ways that the preformatted text should be
treated in, e.g.
(:pre:) PmWiki markup active
(:pre email:) Interpreted as if from an email
(:pre monospace=yes:) Same as (:pre:), but with a monospace font
(:pre ...:) Extensions for recipes
(:pre escaped:) No markup interpreted at all
I'm not overly enthusiastic about these ideas, but maybe they'll give some
inspiration.
Perhaps the above would be better solved by some general mechanism for
disabling/enabling different sets of markup rules?
