preserve-tabs and line_blocks

preserve-tabs and line_blocks

[Alcuin York]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 748 bytes --]

From my own understanding of the pandoc manual, it seems that the 
--preserve-tabs option does not apply to line_blocks. And from my own 
attempts this also appears to be the case. So, 2 questions:

1. Is this correct (--preserve-tabs does not apply to line_blocks).

2. If yes to 1, would it be possible to incorporate it into pandoc?

First, note that only initial indentation of lines is significant in line blocks; internal consecutive spaces will be collapsed anyway.

Second, --preserve-tabs does apparently have an effect, but it's not what you'd expect;

% printf "|\thi" | pandoc -t native 
[ LineBlock [ [ Str "\160\160hi" ] ] ]
% printf "|\thi" | pandoc -t native --preserve-tabs
[ Para [ Str "|" , Space , Str "hi" ] ]
% printf "| \thi" | pandoc -t native --preserve-tabs
[ LineBlock [ [ Str "\160hi" ] ] ]

You should go ahead and put something about this on the bug tracker.

Thank you so much for your very helpful response. I do appreciate it.

I'll put it on the bug tracker.

Cheers.
