| Subject: | Verbatim block formatting |
This was found with Pod-ProjectDocs-0.18.
This bug report is about how verbatim blocks are formatted. I hope I'm actually reporting this in the correct place. It might be a bug in an underlying module for all I know.
Inline verbatim blocks such as the following this paragraph are formatted as a HTML 'pre' section. That's correct. There are, however, two problems I found. a) The block includes a trailing empty line increasing its size. (This can be pretty distracting for short blocks.) b) If the block has "empty" lines which contain as much whitespace at the start of the line as the first line of the block, these lines should not be understood as paragraph separators. I.e. the result should only be a single 'pre' environment.
Example block which should be rendered as a single 'pre'.
Note the two spaces at the start of the previous line!
The line above this line does not contain spaces. Thus, it marks the end of the verbatim block. I hope I could make myself sufficiently clear.
I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you for this really useful tool. Please continue the great work you have done so far.
