How to preserve whitespace in <pre> environment?

[svollmer]

Hi,

I have the following problem with phpMyFAQ 2.0.2: To format source code examples, I mark them as "Preformatted". In the HTML view, they are represented as <pre> ... </pre> blocks.

But when some lines are indented, the whitespace at the beginning of each line gets deleted when I close/reopen the "edit article" page.

How can I write code examples like this?

Code: Select all

begin
  if (true) {
    foo;
  } else {
    bar;
  }
end; 

always gets reformatted as:

Code: Select all

begin
if (true) {
foo;
} else {
bar;
}
end;

Many thanks in advance!

Does nobody have an idea how I can format source code that is properly indented?

Thanks in advance, Stephan
