Indentation problem with fenced code blocks in Markdown

[SachaG]

I'm using middleman-syntax with Redcarpet to get GitHub-style code blocks and everything's working fine, except that the indentation is off, as you can see here:

The same problem was also reported on Stack Overflow but in that case the code block was inside HAML whereas here it's inside Markdown.

Here is my config.rb file:

activate :syntax

set :markdown_engine, :redcarpet
set :markdown, :fenced_code_blocks => true, :smartypants => true

What does your layout file look like? Is that really your whole config.rb?

It looks like I solved this on my own blog by putting this in the article layout:

.post-content= find_and_preserve do
  = yield

It just works around Haml's overwhelming desire to indent everything.

Awesome, it works! So it's the same HAML problem after all, I just didn't think it would affect the markdown code inside another file too!

Thanks again :)

Thanks very much for this tip. This was driving me crazy.

I found I could not get

    .container.menu--push= find_and_preserve do
      = yield

to work, but

    .container.menu--push
      ~ yield

(~ in place of =) did.

How bloody annoying!

@thattommyhall ~ yield worked for me as well. Thanks!

For those just finding this, worth noting that haml's ~ is just an = with #find_and_preserve run: http://haml.info/docs/yardoc/file.REFERENCE.html#whitespace_preservation
