Leading spaces are hidden

[p-himik]

Comparing

"1\n    a"

with

"1\n    b"

results in this:

I think that's because the leading spaces are wrapped in span - without wrapping, the browser (tested in Chrome and Firefox) doesn't hide them.

Wrapping in code instead of span seems to do the trick. Not sure if there are any implications.
