- renewiltord 7y agoHN forum software is inadequate to represent initial spacing. I replaced it with more hyphens. It wasn't intentional as you can tell from the first 'simulated post' which has no code formatting.

- srg0 7y ago<div class=prewrap>Strephon kissed me in the spring, Robin in the fall, But Colin only looked at me And never kissed at all. Strephon’s kiss was lost in jest, Robin’s lost in play, But the kiss in Colin’s eyes Haunts me night and day.</div> The proposed method is not applicable to the HN Comment Formatting Problem.
- 1123581321 7y agoI would email hn@ycombinator.com about that. I’m just a user who reads HN on my phone.
- mellow2020 7y agoI made my own user stylesheet for HN a looong time ago, so why would I email anyone? I showed a simple fix, but oh well. If I wanted to paste something big in block formatting I would put it on pastebin, in this context I'm just a bystander trying to help people with a problem I don't have.
