Summary	0003840: Why strip the leading spaces from Description?
Description	It is apparent that Mantis strips the leading spaces from the Description and other text fields. Some of my developers often post a snippet of the offending code with full (spaces) indentation. Unfortunatley, because of the space-stripping, the results often are hard to read. Is there any way to preserve indentation/leading spaces in the text fields?
Additional Information	example of indentation being stripped: <!-- Title --> <tr> <td class="form-title"> <input type="hidden" name="project_id" value="1" /> Enter Report Details </td> <td class="right"> [ <a href="bug_report_page.php">Simple Report</a> ] </td> </tr>

M core/string_api.php - Preserve tab by replacing it with 4 non-blank-spaces. This may be made configurable in the future. The rest of the functionality was already implemented but for spaces only. git-svn-id: http://mantisbt.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mantisbt/trunk@2541 <a class="text" href="/?p=mantisbt.git;a=object;h=f5dc347c">f5dc347c</a>-c33d-0410-90a0-b07cc1902cb9	Affected Issues 0003840

vboctor 2004-05-17 09:07 manager ~0005525	I already implemented this in CVS for spaces, however, it wasn't implemented for tabs. A tab is now preserved as four spaces. Fixed in CVS and will be included in 0.19.0.
