Thanks for the reply, but that only preserves the leading whitespace,
not the trailing (which only matters if you're trying to get things to
center up properly as I am).
>> haml_text =<<EOS
%pre
~
+
+++++
+
EOS
=> "%pre\n ~\n + \n +++++\n + \n" <--- trailing
whitespace
>> h = Haml::Engine.new haml_text
>> h.render
=> "<pre>\n +
+++++
 +
\n</pre>\n" <--- no
trailing whitespace
If you put this in a <center> tag, you get
+
+++++
+
Since the 1st and 3rd lines are only 3 chars long instead of 5. This
is a trivial example with an obvious workaround, but I have a big
ASCII logo to work with...
