Change: Preformatting

created on Oct. 25, 2012, 11:22 p.m. by Hevok & updated on Oct. 25, 2012, 11:22 p.m. by Hevok

To include a preformatted, never-to-be-fiddled-with text (e.g. a code block) finish the prior paragraph with "::". The preformatted block finishes when the text falls back to the same indentation level as a paragraph prior to the preformatted block.

An example::

  Whitespace, newlines, blank lines, and all kinds of markup
    (like *this* or \this) is preserved by literal blocks.
Lookie here, I've dropped the indentation level
(but not far enough)

no more example

If a paragraph consists of only of "::", then it's removed from the output::

::

  This is preformatted text, and the 
  last "::" paragraph is removed

::

This is preformatted text, and the last "::" paragraph is removed
