Pre-formatted text in HTML writer about mdtranslator HOT 6 CLOSED

Another option would be to add classes to the sections and use the white-space property in the CSS. I'm mainly concerned about preserving line-breaks, so white-space: pre-line; would fit my requirements and be the least intrusive option.

That looks good. Another CSS property I had not known of. I'll work it
in. Create an issue for version 1.3?

I created a new branch and pull request, #38, with my solution. I only added the new .pre-line class to abstract section. Note that spaces and tabs will still collapse when using white-space: pre-line;.

Also, note the change to the ruby code. I refactored to use !tag instead of !text to prevent the extra newline. See jimweirich/builder#45. This will also need to be taken into consideration whenever .pre-line is applied.

The white-space: pre-line; works for me.

Not sure what the advantage of moving the section tag into a tag! method
buys. It does create better formatted html than using text!, but there are
many places we still need to use the text! method. Any time we need to do
processing inside a tag or have multiple items to write within a tag, I
think we will still need the text! method. I think I prefer consistency
rather than cleaning up just some of the html. That said, the html is
already inconsistent.

The problem with using text! with .pre-line is the extra new-line that's added. Normally, this would be collapsed when rendered in the browser, but not when white-space: pre-line; is applied.
