Keeping whitespace for e.g. pre-tags

    I have been searching everywhere for a solution to why every time I post code containing \n or \t at the start of a line, it gets removed. It is not possible to post correct python code e.g. Could anyone tell how I get this fixed?..

    – I have read http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_Code_in_Your_Posts, looked at all the links and tried the plugins suggested.. It just broke my blog’s look and still removed \n and \t…..

    first, go to your theme’s .css file and create classes/attributes for various things you’d like to display.

    then, (i don’t know why you’re using \n or \t) try using ,
    , and &nbsp     to position/format things as you’d like.

    also, if you take a look at the “extend” link above, i belive there are a number of plugins available for syntax highlighing/formatting, etc.

    Okay.. Imagine you wanted to write the output of the php below into a post:
    < ?php
    echo “<pre> \nfirst line of code.. \n\tsecond linie which is indented.. \nthird linie not indented..\n</pre>”;
    ? >

    After you press any save button, WP saves the contents of the input felt as:
    < ?php
    echo “<pre>< br />first line of code..< br />second linie which is indented..< br />third linie not indented..< br /></pre>”;
    ? >

    And if you can read php, you see that the second linie is no longer indented.
    My problem isn’t CSS-related, I have tried using plugins and they do not help, when the problem is inside WP’s “saving” functions. I suspekt it is a filter I need to disable…. But I don’t which or how..
