Jan: It's indented blocks that *should be* converted to <pre><code> blocks that are causing the problem.
Milian: The leading whitespace *is* preserved in the export from Movable Type. Michel: New posts (written directly in the WP entry field) with code blocks are correctly formatted, so PHP Markdown Extra is installed and working. Imported posts, however, are screwed up. Interestingly, *only* code blocks seem to be wrong: unordered lists, links, bold, and inline code (backticks) are all formatted just fine. (There were no ordered lists or italics in my imported posts, so I can't comment on them.) As I said in the original post, the code blocks are wrapped in <p></p> tags instead of <pre><code></code></pre>. The file I import from Movable Type is just a series of Markdown-formatted posts with headers that give the author, title, date, etc. Lines of hyphens separate the posts. WP seems to be separating the posts and handling the header information correctly. This evening, I exported all the posts from WP, and got an XML file. In this XML file, the incorrectly-imported posts have their code blocks shoved up against the left margin instead of indented 4 spaces. Not surprising, given that WP thinks they are regular paragraphs. Again, I realize this is a WordPress issue, but I thought someone on the list might have run into this problem. Any insight would be appreciated. -- Dr. Drang _______________________________________________ Markdown-Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/markdown-discuss
