Extra spaces in code blocks running locally from Windows

Hey @poznianski!

I actually noticed this too yesterday. From what I can tell the issue comes from Git's core.autocrlf option. The documentation builder seems to be interpreting the Windows \r\n as two line breaks. That puts us Windows users in a bit of a tricky position.

The good thing is that most modern IDEs on Windows support using LF as well CRLF. I would recommend setting core.autocrlf to input, which preserves the LF at checkout and converts any stray CRLFs to LFs at commit.

If you want to change this behavior machine-wide, run git config --global core.autocrlf input. If you only want to change it for just the one repo, cd to the repo and run git config core.autocrlf input.

I've not tested, but you might need to empty your stash or re-checkout the branch after reconfiguring git. I'd also close the IDE before you run the command.

Hope this helps!

Seems like you are right! But I have no opportunity to test it, coz I fixed this annoying bug more radically. I switched to Manjaro as my main operating system. There is no bug 😁

Thanks for your investigation!

Well, I guess that works too! 😃

@poznianski I don't actually have the permissions to close this issue myself (not a collaborator on the repo or the author of the issue), so would you mind doing that? Thanks!
