bug report to HTML::FormatText

I cannot fix this one...

line line 104 of FormatText you say

    $pre =~ s/^/$indent/gm;

which inserts some spaces to every line of preformatted text. This
does no good, if we have a piece of preformatted text that starts in
the middle of the line.

My HTML looks like this:

<PRE>
  <A NAME="GAAS"></A><a href="GAAS/">GAAS</a>   <a href="http://www.oslonett.no/home/aas/">Gisle Aas</a> <a href="mailto:aas@oslonett.no">&lt;aas@oslonett.no&gt;</a>
</PRE>

and is formatted correctly by netscape as

  GAAS   Gisle Aas <aas@oslonett.no>

but 'request -o text' prints

         GAAS         Gisle Aas       <aas@oslonett.no>   

I think, some extra switch is required near line 104, but I don't
know which and if it isn't already there.


Hope that helps,
andreas
