[Mediawiki-l] Re: <pre> tag not working

[Chris Earle (CBL)]

Ok -- I've been trying to figure this out and I finally realized the
alternative way of doing a 'pre' tag is to use a double-space indent

That works!

For whatever reason, the pre tags don't function the same way as the double
spaces.
Is this because of my version of MW or is it the Cavendish skin??  Clarify
if you know.

Problem is, that I'm trying to cut and paste large portions of help
documents into my wiki and now I've got to go through and take out all the <
pre> tags and put double spaces on every line of the code fragments??

I was trying to get the help content from this page -- which I assume is a
derivative of the original mozilla Cavendish skin, and seems to handle the
pre tags properly....not sure what MW version
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/MDC:Wiki_Markup_Reference

Ideas?
