Subject: In HTML output literal blocks should strip newline before closing pre
To: discuss@mandoc.bsd.lv
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

The problem with `.Bd -literal` blocks in HTML output is that mandoc
doesn't output the
closing pre tag on the same line. If the element is indented, browsers
will display an
extra line since pre is telling them to preserve whitespace.

A good example of the issue is
<https://mandoc.bsd.lv/man/mdoc.7.html#NAME>. The extra
space is clearly visible. The source is

        <pre>.Nm name0 ,
    .Nm name1 ,
    .Nm name2
    .Nd a one line description
        </pre>

What I'm proposing is that it should look like

        <pre>.Nm name0 ,
    .Nm name1 ,
    .Nm name2
    .Nd a one line description</pre>

This is what most Markdown processors do to solve the issue.

Best regards,
Aman
