Hi,
Many (hundreds) of post no longer display preformatted (i.e. between html <pre></pre> tags) properly when published - although the text DOES display properly when in edit mode.
This is how I found out - I happened to be looking at an old post reply of mine. What I saw was:
- Text extends to the right, but NO slider at the bottom instead, text wraps!
- Space characters do not have proper mono-spaced spacing, so the vertical bars that make up the table are not aligned
Now, if I edit the post, I see everything views as it should:
Now I COULD go through the many many posts I've posted with <pre></pre> blocks (that USED to work fine) and change them to <li-code lang="markup"></li-code> blocks (which is what is now used when you click the
BUT even that does NOT produce a suitable result, because it wraps text when it shouldn't. When posting code sample, line wraps can create a whole new meaning to your post.
Conclusion
I've highlighted two major flaws in the new system
- Text between <pre></pre> html tags should be treated a code block with slider bars for horizontal movement (with NO line wrap) and proper mon-spaced spacing for ALL characters, including the space character.
- Text between <li-code lang="markup"></li-code> html tags should be treated a code block with slider bars for horizontal movement (with NO line wrap)
