I am not sure whether we should remove the <br>. It's valid to use it inside pre and I am not even aware of any deprecatation of this practise; maybe it'd be better to leave it to the user to fix it. Anyway, if it is replaced, it must be replaced by \n, no matter of preceding or following newlines in order to emulate browser behaivour. I did not notice any problem with the tabs. What's wrong with them? Are they replaced by the wrong number of spaces? I remember we discussed this before and I proposed to change the default number of spaces. Did we reach consensus on that? Or is something else going wrong here?
