This is a python script I just wrote. Unfortunately, the white space gets lost. Try https://gist.github.com/721676

Does anyone else appreciate the irony of a Python app losing whitespace?

I definitely do, but just for record, it's the browser not rendering the white space. It is there if you look in the page source.

You would need to double the whitespaces if you wanted new paragraphs.
