Keep whitespace on beginning of line in comments&statuses

[brolund]

To be able to add some structure (e.g. for code), replace spaces at beginning of line with   and tabs with 4 of those.

I think that is a path that can only lead to misery once threaded. I think either keep it as it is or enable markdown for comments. For most purposes markdown wont be noticed so you don't have to know you're using it.

A poor mans solution would be to wrap posts in <pre></pre>

even github doesn't preserve whitespace

unless of course
    you put it in a code
        block

[johlrogge]

didn't mean to close it. It honestly was a mistake eventhough I think it is a terrible idea :)

I think this markdownparser looks very good: https://github.com/chjj/marked

Markdown would be great. I guess github et al has found the security problems already... ;-)

[jancborchardt]

Yeah, agree with @johlrogge – whitespace shouldn’t be preserved except in an explicit code block.

[brolund]

Instead of just whining about it ;-) I created a new issue #44. :-)

[johlrogge]

Yes, I came out much more negative than I intended to. Sorry about that and good response to change the tone to a positive one in #44

[brolund]

Well probably do #44. Closing this.
