It's in stdmarkup.php.  If you want to change it so that two leading
spaces result in preformatted text, add the following in config.php:

    DisableMarkup('^ ');
    Markup('^  ', 'block', '/^  /', '<:pre,1>');

If you want it so that *exactly* two leading spaces result in
preformatted text (i.e., three spaces is not preformatted), then use
    
    DisableMarkup('^ ');
    Markup('^  ', 'block', '/^  \\S/', '<:pre,1>');

Using two leading spaces to mean "preformatted text" sounds like a 
useful rule that covers most of the existing cases -- and it would
eliminate the "bug" that Christian often complains about where a single
leading space causes a line to become preformatted.  Maybe we can
adopt this or something like it in general?
