Preserve multiline spaces for code blocks

[victory-sokolov]

Hello, was wondering if it's possible to make stripMultispaces as a boolean flag for the parserOptions of the extract method, so stripMultispaces could be an optional argument

In specific cases when I'm extracting HTML that has code blocks that need to have multi spaces preserved, in order to maintain formatted code blocks.

Maybe you have any other ideas on how this can be achieved?

Thanks!

@victory-sokolov thank you for your idea. Could you explain more detail and suggest some links to test? I consider that if that is a specific case, we can simply use transformation.

Not sure if it will be straightforward to implement it using custom transformation.

Here is an example of the extracted code block

import { useTheme } from 'next-themes';   const ThemeChanger = () => {  const { theme, setTheme } = useTheme();    return (  <div>  The current theme is: {theme}  <button onClick={() => setTheme('light')}>Light Mode</button>  <button onClick={() => setTheme('dark')}>Dark Mode</button>  </div>  ); };

and this is the original code copied from the dev console (site)

import { useTheme } from 'next-themes';
 
const ThemeChanger = () => {
  const { theme, setTheme } = useTheme();
 
  return (
    <div>
      The current theme is: {theme}
      <button onClick={() => setTheme('light')}>Light Mode</button>
      <button onClick={() => setTheme('dark')}>Dark Mode</button>
    </div>
  );
};

In general code, blocks have 4 spaces for nested blocks, but when an article is being scrapped it has only one, I guess this is because of the stripMultispaces. Maybe you have other ideas how those spaces can be preserved

Thanks in advance.

@victory-sokolov yeah, you are right. It's because of stripMultispaces. Let me see how we can make it as a configurable option.

@ndaidong Awesome thanks a lot! Now code blocks are formatted properly.
Thanks once again!

@victory-sokolov nice to see it works for you.
