Have you ever heard of *DARING FIREBALL Markdown*? Because I'm following the official Markdown syntax reference page <https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/> from the creator of the markdown language: John Gruber (DARING FIREBALL). According to this Wikipedia Markdown page <https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown> it was first specified with version 1.0.1 in 2004. The detail that interests us here can be found under `Syntax`, `Block Elements`, `Paragraphs and Line Breaks` in the 3rd paragraph, see the following excerpt - especially my cursor: [image: 28-09-_2019_17-25-16.png] And in HTML there is a tag to preserve white spaces: <pre> ... </pre> <pre>Text in a pre element is displayed in a fixed-width font, and it preserves both spaces and line breaks</pre> (w3schools.com <https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_pre.asp>) coda coder wrote > > Reasoning: When copy-pasting external text, now I have to police the text > at the character level to watch for > > *Which objects do you use in Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5 for your policing? * I'm trying to find the location in TiddlyWiki where the white spaces characters are removed from the <pre> tag. This happens before parsing. I found this while debugging so far: `$tw.Wiki.prototype.deserializeTiddlers`. But even here one space is missing. But this space is definitely present in the html file and also in the tiddler in edit mode. Can you help me out here too?
