Re^13: BUG: code blocks don't retain literal formatting -- could they?by RonW (Parson) |

Well, I'd love to try an experiment -- disabling the conversion of user-input characters in "Code" blocks Supposedly, that conversion is happening in the browser (for the whole submission). It is possible to prove (or disprove) that by using WireShark (or similar) program to monitor what the browser is sending to PM. DANGER: The following idea might get you in trouble with the PM Gods Another possible experiment would be to manually create a form submission (see Form submission), including the proper values and attributes for Content-type and Content-Transfer-Encoding for the text area. Then use HTTP::Tiny to post it to PM. Important: If you do the above, be sure the value of the "op" field is "preview". Then you can examine the response content to see how badly PM choked on the submission.
