[oXygen-user] Is there a way to stop oxygen from reformatting lines of text marked with <codeblock> or <lines>?

[Radu Coravu]

Hi Steve,

What Oxygen version are you using?
Both the Text and Author pages should interpret <codeblock> as space 
preserve by Oxygen 11.1 because they are declared in the DITA DTD as 
having the xml:space="preserve" attribute.
If you are using an older Oxygen version:
How do you reformat the text? Do you use the "Format and indent" button 
in the Text page?
Can you go to the Oxygen "Preferences->Editor / Format / XML" page and 
check the "Preserve space elements" list?
"codeblock" should be present there and you can also add "lines" to the 
list.

Regards,
Radu
