What is the best way to format source code examples? It seems that indentation  is ruined when some user chooses to edit using ConvertSpacesToTabs. Currently, I use (1 + 4 * N) spaces for indentation (N is the level of indentation). I had even more problems with my usual (3 * N). Using Tabs+Space seems too deep and is cumbersome to do without a handy tool. 

 IndentationTestFunction4p1() { /* what I would like to have e.g. */
     for(int i=0; i<8; i++) {
         for(int j=0; j<8; j++) {
             if(i>j) {
                 if(i+j>8) {
                     /* */  
                 }		
             } 
         }
     }
 } 

 IndentationTestFunction4p1() { /* ruined */
	for(int i=0; i<8; i++) {
	 for(int j=0; j<8; j++) {
		if(i>j) {
		 if(i+j>8) {
			/* */  
		 }		
		} 
	 }
	}
 } 

IndentationTestFunction3() { /* ruined */
	for(int i=0; i<8; i++) {
	for(int j=0; j<8; j++) {
	 if(i>j) {
		if(i+j>8) {
		/* */
		}		
	 } 
	}
	}
} 

I''''''ndentationTestFunctionTabsPure() {
	for(int i=0; i<8; i++) {
		for(int j=0; j<8; j++) {
			if(i>j) {
				if(i+j>8) {
					/* */  
				}		
			} 
		}
	}
} 

 I''''''ndentationTestFunctionSpaceTabs() {
 	for(int i=0; i<8; i++) {
 		for(int j=0; j<8; j++) {
 			if(i>j) {
 				if(i+j>8) {
 					/* */  
 				}		
 			} 
 		}
 	}
 } 

 I''''''ndentationTestFunctionTabsSpace() {
	 for(int i=0; i<8; i++) {
		 for(int j=0; j<8; j++) {
			 if(i>j) {
				 if(i+j>8) {
					 /* */  
				 }		
			 } 
		 }
	 }
 }

It would be nice to be able to use some trick, such as a prefix character (after initial space), to disable ConvertSpacesToTabs (i.e. spaces in preformatted lines should not be converted. I could see a standard being 1 or 2 spaces, followed by a line number, followed by whatever indentation you choose. Unfortunately, Wiki currently changes spaces on all lines.
