There is no better alternative. You need to indent code blocks for them to be easily legible, as it breaks them out of the normal flow of the document.
I think that's Phil's point. The code he is cutting and pasting in is no doubt already indented. However, what it probably has is either: * no initial indentation (start <tab> or <space>) * that indential probably is a <tab> rather than <space><space> I love dokuwiki for documentation, but it is a right ballache to find that when you cut and paste in your configuration snippet I *then* have to go through <space><space><home><down-cursor><goto 10> before it is usable. Sure it seems not a biggy, but it is a right turnoff and makes us all less inclinded to put in the effort.
If it's going to be a huge issue I could probably add something to gollum which converts <pre> tags into the appropriate white space scheme before committing the text to the repository. Would you still have an issue with this?
That would be pretty schweet. I would not 'pre-process' the text, I would make sure those <pre>/{{{/whatever remains intact so you do not suffer indentation pain when editing existing content. Cheers -- Alexander Clouter .sigmonster says: I'm having a MID-WEEK CRISIS!
