Steps to reproduce:

1. https://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Jorgk/8-bit_bytes_and_e-mail_corruption_at_Verizon,_Yahoo,_etc.#State_1:_All_8bit_characters_are_destroyed
2. Inspect code text in paragraph "Hi Bob, raining today."
3. Observe there's actually two spaces between the comma and raining: "Hi Bob,<SPACE><SPACE>raining today."

Actual results:

Whitespace isn't preserved in the code tags.

Expected results:

The whitespace should be preserved. The examples in that paragraph have the double space purposely. Adding white-space: pre to code css in load.php works.
