Markdown Discuss - Oct 2007 - Pre and code

When converting, markdown.pl inserts
<pre><code>Foobar</code></pre>
for tabbed blocks of text. My question is why <pre><code> and not  
<code><pre>? If I use <pre><code> in my blog, there is
no pre-
formatting, because the code tag overrides pre; it writes everything  
in a single line (no line breaks, no tabs...), and the format is not  
conserved.

On the other hand, if I change the order to <code><pre> everything
is
outlined as expected. I don't know if the problem is mine or  
markdown's. Does anybody have this problem? How can I fix this?

Thanks

Alvaro

> My question is why <pre><code> and not <code><pre>?
because putting <pre> *inside* a <code> violates the HTML spec.

There's something about the CSS on your blog that makes
<pre><code>
display the way you describe. You just have to find and fix the CSS
problem, and everything will be fine.
