Code blocks shouldn't be double spaced... - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

For some reason, code blocks, unlike quote blocks, are double spaced. They needn't be and they shouldn't be. Ask anyone in Tilted Programming and they'll tell you that it's quite annoying.

Code blocks are different from quote blocks in some very important and useful ways but this property of theirs really gets in the way. If someone wanted to double space their code, they can simply do so, themselves! In contrast, there is nothing one can do to get rid of unwanted double spacing so, for the sake of flexability, can this be fixed?

Thank you!

I agree - it's a real pain and can make some listings take over entire screens! Please could we have this fixed?
