Characters " " inside Code Block instead of space
I'm a new Showdown user, experimenting the CLI tool to convert my markdown pages into static html files for my blog. I'm very happy with it so far. However, I just stumbled upon a Gotcha while copy/pasting my directory structure inside a block of code (using the triple backticks).
Does someone knows why the rendering with Showdown is like this:
tree
├── folder1
│ └── a.txt
└── folder2
└── b.txt
While it is like this in other markdown to html converter (and also here on Github):
tree
├── folder1
│ └── a.txt
└── folder2
└── b.txt
It looks like Showdown is putting &nbsp; inside the <pre><code> tag instead of to render the space character.
I'm really not sure if I'm misusing it or if it's a bug. Does anyone one has an idea about it?
Bug confirmed.
The input text has non-breaking spaces inside the code block which get converted to the correspondent html entity . However, then the code block is encoded again, changing & to & resulting in that weird behavior.
Same here, => { becomes => { in <pre><code> and <code> blocks. Inspecting reveals =&gt {.
