Description:
------------
Livedocs, when displaying programlistings, doesn't preserve whitespace properly.

The <code> element doesn't preserve whitespace, and the `preserve-whitespace: pre` line is commented out in the theme's css files.

Can you please give an example page that doesn't work?

If I remember well, Ilia has applied one of my patches a while ago that fixed this.

Look at the docblock, the first space is truncated. All the programlistings have 3 spaces for the first indent, though 4 are in the code.

here is a patch to fix the white space issue:

Sorry for my stupidity, but I couldn't find where the problem is... and nor how the patch would fix the problem.

The patch will also create a bigger page (by replacing ' &nbsp;' with two &nbsp;)

Whitespce in any element which hasn't set preserve to true will be ignored in most circumstances. Using &nbsp; won't be ignored, or setting preserve-whitespace in the CSS. Then you can not use &nbsp; at all.

Nuno,

You might be seing my changes I made for the patch. The problem is that hightlight_string() doesn't put &nbsp; in all places where a space occurs, causing in some places a ' ' to get compressed thus loosing indententation.

Here is an example of the white space compression (example Extending the Exception class):
http://livedocs.homelinux.com/en/language.oop5.exceptions.html

Note: 
  1) indentation in actual code is four spaces. this only produces 3.
  2) the  comments withing /* */ get malformed.

CSS might be able to fix this problem, I'll look into instead of translating all spaces to &nbsp;  I'm not sure exactly why the original translations of '\n ' to '<br>&nbsp;' was there but I'm assuming its due to the behaviour of highlight_string().

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
