Hi,

I'm not very good at PHP and would like to have a PHP function which turns this (text block indented by four spaces):

    printf("goodbye world!");  /* his suicide note
                                  was in C */

Into this:

<pre><code>    printf("goodbye world!");  /* his suicide note
                              was in C */</code></pre>

This is what Markdown does. I found this PHP port of Markdown (see function doCodeBlocks()), but I don't want to use the entire Markdown file, I just want this one function.

Can someone provide me with the minimal PHP code required to get this to work? So I can do this:

<?php echo markdownPre('Here goes some code:

    var x = 1, y = 2;
    alert(x + y);

That should be a pre block.'); ?>
