[SOLVED] Formatting in bug reports

I'm not sure where I can discuss the bug tracker itself, but since this section covers two of the web products, I felt it came closest.

Does the bug tracker (apparently flyspray) support any formatting? I don't see any buttons; a search for "help" on the bug tracker page shows no results. Unlike other trackers I have used (Debian BTS, Launchpad, Bugzilla), flyspray doesn't preserve whitespace.

Is any formatting supported? What can I do to ensure whitespace is preserved?

Re: [SOLVED] Formatting in bug reports

There seems to be (some) formatting support upstream, so this is most likely a configuration thing.
As far as I know, "our" flyspray supports only one formatting element: text like "FS#12345" is automatically replaced with a link to given task. Line breaks are also preserved . If you need to post something where whitespace is deathly serious, just make an attachment.

Nothing that serious. But indentation is useful even in short code snippets.
