No, it doesn't. We actually make extra efforts to remain true to the
source. But most browser/editor environments (e.g. Symposia and
NaviPress) reformats your sources when you write to a file, so I
presume they generate it from the parse tree.
The only time Arena edits the source is to indicate HTML errors; they
are inserted as HTML comments.
