Complaint about extra blank lines in CODE blocks

Post by esl_97_850_T5 »

1. Today I became aware that an old post with CODE blocks has had a blank line inserted between each line of the original post.

That was in a post from ~1.4 years ago (2016-11-02).

A further check on the other of my posts that contain CODE blocks (and which I have copies of) reveals each one has this same "erroneous blank line inserted" problem, if there are > 1 lines in the CODE block.

2. That's not good, since it changes the meaning conveyed in one or more of those posts.

3. Are you, Matthew, and/or site moderators aware of this formatting change?

4. Was it an inadvertent change introduced during the site updates over the last ~1.4 years (ie, after 2016-11-01)?

5. Or was this an intentional change?
1998 Volvo S70 GLT - 205.5K miles - S70 & M44 testbed in 2016-2019; traded 2019-07-15 (for spare time)
1997 Volvo 854 T5 - 147K miles - 850 testbed in 2012-2017; junked 2017-09
