Getting the <pre> tag to work

[Alex Raichev]

Hi all,

How do i get the <pre> tag to work in RapydML?  I'm trying to format a poem.

1. I tried

pre:

    "Roses are red,

     Violets are blue,

     I like ice cream"

but that didn't compile. I expected that, because i put line breaks between quotation marks.

2. Then i tried

poem = verbatim('<pre>', '</pre>')

poem:

    Roses are red,

    Violets are blue,

    I like ice cream

and that almost worked.  Problem is, i get extra whitespace in front of each line, because the compiled HTML indents the poem within the <pre> tag :-(

How can i format my poem without the excess indentation?

Thanks for your attention.

Alex
