Have never been able to get [code] or [pre] to work on WW

The first line or two show up monospaced, the rest don't

[MichaelBluejay]

I post a fair bit of code here on WW but I've never been able to get the [ code ] and [ pre ] tags to work. Maybe the first line or two will be monospaced but the rest of the lines will look just like an unformatted post. I'd really, really like a way to preserve spaces so I can indent code. Is there some trick to it?

Thankie-doodle, -MBJ-

Yes, you can use the [ul] tag to indent, but make sure you end it with [/ul].

code and pre work great as long as there are no blank lines.

Compare the following:

---

Using pre... 
No blank line

---

Using pre... 
Blank line

---

Using code...
No blank line

---

Using code...
Blank line

There are, however, ways around the above. Simply putting ANYTHING on the blank line (no matter if it is printable or not) solves the problem:

[pre]Using pre...
[b][/b]
Blank line...[/pre]

[pre]Using pre...

Blank line...[/pre]

[code]Using code...
[b][/b]
Blank line...[/code]

[code]Using code...
[smilestopper]
Blank line...[/code]

Ah, the blank lines kill it. Thanks!

This explanation really should go on the Codes page.
