[pmwiki-users] block preformat, spaceless?

[Tom Holroyd]

Would it be possible to have an option where markup that starts with a 
space is put in a <pre> block, but with the leading space stripped? 
Perhaps this could be the default behavior?  Would anybody object to that?

I know I can say

  [=
stuff
=]

but

  stuff

is a lot easier to type.  Having the space(s) go away automatically 
would be nice.  I had a look at

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

and it seems like it'd be possible to add a function that strips 
leading spaces in there, somehow.

(I suppose it might be going too far to ask that leading spaces also 
get treated like [=?  And then stripped?  That could certainly be a 
cookbook recipe; just add the correct Markup commands to config.php.)
