(Get the code!)
Just to add my comment on this. The removal of whitespace lines inside text is indeed problematic. Specifically, I want to copy and paste a short diff describing a change. What I would like to see is: (exchanging ' ' for '_' because of the munger)
__baseline text
+__if foo:
+____do bar
+__do baz
What I see instead is:
__baseline text
+if foo:
+do bar
+do baz
Especially for copying diffs of python code, this is especially problematic, as there is no way to tell whether the 'do baz' clause is part of the if case or not.
I ran into this on bug #215522. Has there been any progress on this?
I realize that I can post a patch as an attachment, where it will not get munged. However, for a quick 5-line diff discussion, it is a lot of overhead to create the diff file, upload it, etc. Not to mention it doesn't show up directly in the comments, so it is more difficult to *talk* about the diff.
