Description
Problem: When converting a docbook 4.5 document, that I've created using XML Mind Editor as a book to PDF (see my commit), the resulting PDF takes spaces literally, while DocBook conversion tools do not.
I've tried replacing <literal>...</literal>
with <code>...</code>
without effect.
I'd like to ask this great project if anyone knows how I can configure formatting of code to allow wrapping of lines and ignore multiple spaces, which XXE inserts in the raw text. I'd like to avoid where possible modifying the document by hand, as XXE will "automatically" put back the new lines.
I'm wondering if this is a bug (difference in other tools, subjective), and how I might customize this behaviour.
Version: I'm using the version of pandoc that comes with Ubuntu 20.04 via the apt-install package.
pandoc 2.5
Compiled with pandoc-types 1.17.5.4, texmath 0.11.2.2, skylighting 0.7.7

Reproducibility: See the DocBook at output at GitHub, e.g. page 11, 12, 18.
Attempts to Solve:
- I didn't find anything in Google that I could use. Most documentation is about markdown conversion.
- Changed
literal
tocode
and it didn't help - Tried looking for something that I could add to my metadata file, but alas, no luck (yet).
Again, thank you for the wonderful project.
