Bug #7189
closedminor issue with wiki documentation - copying and pasting doesn't work cleanly
Description
Following along with the port-a-pipeline docs, I notice that the way the wiki has the blocks (for example, when instructing to `vi` a file into existence and then displaying the `cat` of its subsequent contents), there are 4 spaces before each line meaning that when you copy and paste (e.g. into `vi`), you then have to edit each line and delete the four spaces. Not a major issue, but a minor annoyance that might have an easy fix?
I notice that the HTML the wiki is returning for this has the spaces explicitly in it:
<code> </code>$ vi createtwofiles.sh<br /> ⤷ $cat createtwofiles.sh<br /> #!/bin/bash<br /> echo "Hello " > out1.txt<br /> echo "Arvados!" > out2.txt
I can see what is desired here is for the initial '$ vi createtwofiles.sh' line to be left justified and for the subsequent lines to be indented - perhaps that could be accomplished at the style level (e.g. splitting up the pre tag into two blocks of different classes, such as by wrapping the latter inside something like <div class="indent"></div>) rather than actually including the formatting in the contents.
