Ok -- I've been trying to figure this out and I finally realized the
alternative way of doing a 'pre' tag is to use a double-space indent
That works!
For whatever reason, the pre tags don't function the same way as the double
spaces.
Is this because of my version of MW or is it the Cavendish skin?? Clarify
if you know.
Problem is, that I'm trying to cut and paste large portions of help
documents into my wiki and now I've got to go through and take out all the <
pre> tags and put double spaces on every line of the code fragments??
I was trying to get the help content from this page -- which I assume is a
derivative of the original mozilla Cavendish skin, and seems to handle the
pre tags properly....not sure what MW version

Ideas?

Subject: <pre> tag not working
Hi all,
I have been trying to cut and paste some pieces of the Meta Help into some
basic help files for my wiki but the parts that are in <pre> </pre> tags
are
totally not working. The code is there, i.e. wiki
code in between the
tags
.... you've all seen it, the examples for how to
use various wiki markup
etc.
But when you preview or save the page, it turns into something like this:
NaodW29-pre7c193d5a7493d86000000001
what happened!?
I'm on
* MediaWiki: 1.5.1
* PHP: 4.4.1 (apache)
* MySQL: 5.0.15-log
Using the mozilla cavendish wiki skin.
Funny thing I noticed is that if you search in google for that string
NaodW29, look how many ppl have the same problem?!

Any suggestions/direction would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
