[cl-who-devel] Unexpected behavior of pre directive with indented output
by Jeff Cunningham 29 Dec '07

29 Dec '07

Hi, I ran into some unexpected behavior this morning when using the pre directive. Here is an example: (with-html-output (*standard-output* nil :prologue nil :indent t) (:body (:pre "This block of text should all be justified to the left edge of the window when rendered by a browser, even if the HTML itself is indented, no?"))) What is generated is the following: <body> <pre> This block of text should all be justified to the left edge of the window when rendered by a browser, even if the HTML itself is indented, no? </pre> </body> Which will "indent" the first line unexpectedly, as well as pre-pending an unexpected line break. I realize that I can turn off indenting in my output, but this seems inelegant. It seems like the pre directive needs to be handled as a special case. --Jeff
