I'm not a markup guy, so if that makes sense, go for it. One question though, on top of having the option to disable it, how hard would it be to write a converter from the old style to whatever replaces it? It's one thing to turn off a new feature for a while, but eventually sites will have to bite the bullet. A converter sure would seem usefull. Maybe this could become a converter that evolves and could convert any major markup change that you decide to implement (or have already implemented)? Simply invoke it with the specific markup switch to convert: --leadingSpacePreformattedText (yikes, someone might think I'm a java programmer, ;) but in this case the long syntax seems appropriate)
