1. Where are the Topica leading spaces???
What is happening to the leading spaces in some posts???
I had posted the following as part of my last post
(without the line numbers):
01 for k=1 to length(n) do
02 x=n[k]
03 a=ConvertBackToOriginal(x)
04 x=a[2]
05 if Number(a) then
06 ?x --print the number
07 else
08 printf(1,"%s\n",{x}) --print the character
09 end if
10 end for
and it appeared on the web interface as
(without the line numbers):
01 for k=1 to length(n) do
02 x=n[k]
03 a=ConvertBackToOriginal(x)
04 x=a[2]
05 if Number(a) then
06 ?x --print the number
07 else
08 printf(1,"%s\n",{x}) --print the character
09 end if
10 end for
note the missing leading spaces in lines 2 through 9...
What's up with that???
Where are the leading spaces going??????

If you view the HTML on the Web page you'll see:
for k=1 to length(n) do<BR>
x=n[k]<BR>
a=ConvertBackToOriginal(x)<BR>
x=a[2]<BR>
if Number(a) then<BR>
?x --print the number<BR>
else<BR>
printf(1,"%s\n",{x}) --print the
character<BR>
end if<BR>
end for<BR>
It looks like they don't try to preserve
the leading spaces unless you indent
by at least 4 (or maybe it's 3).
It came through ok via e-mail.

If it look fine in e-mail but not on the web page, that would eliminate
'moderating' as a culprit.
