How so? I suppose if you paste Python code in a comment box that happens to eat whitespace, then there is a problem, yes... but for those cases there's pastebin and such. Other than that, if you're writing a blog post or article, then you can just slap the Python code in <pre> blocks, which preserves the whitespace; most "humane" text editing formats like Textile and Markdown have ways to preserve it as well.
- prodigal_erik 16y ago> comment box that happens to eat whitespace In my experience, that's easily 2/3 of the web and half of all email and IM clients. It was so bad that I was surprised when it didn't fail somehow. Pastebin is just the kind of workaround I would hate to be consigned to. Reading offline or printing becomes a huge headache because important details are constantly missing.
