Preserve whitespace in posts!

I tend to use the forum to write articles, stories, and tutorials. The problem is that I cannot format aside from line returns, as spaces and tabs get trimmed as whitespace. Can we please enable automatic escaping of double, or greater, spacing to non-breaking spaces? And could we please have the same for tabs, turning one into 5 spaces?

Of course, it is better as an option. For the record, the "white-space: pre;" css option breaks layouts so that isn't a potential fix to this.

  1. Double space preservation is already available in 1.2 through 1.2.3. It's been removed from any further versions because of bugs caused by it (malformed utf characters). Double spaces and tabs are already preserved in the code and php tags.
