preserve whitespace

[cbluth]

it would be nice to preserve the whitespace of the text, so that json and other code can be displayed properly

here is a small example:

$ echo '{"name":"John","age":30,"car":null }' | jq . 
{
  "name": "John",
  "age": 30,
  "car": null
}
$ echo '{"name":"John","age":30,"car":null }' | jq . | lzma -9 | base64 -w0 | xargs -0 printf "https://itty.bitty.site/#/%s\n"

here is another example:

$ curl -s 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alcor/itty-bitty/master/firebase.json' | lzma -9 | base64 -w0 | xargs -0 printf "https://itty.bitty.site/#/%s\n"

I believe this has less to do with itty.bitty and more to do with how jr is formatting the output. I don't know jr very well, but in my tests it looks like it is adding the \n EOL char to the data. Browsers naturally cannot handle this. You would need to replace all the \n chars with <br> for the browser to handle it.

Examples:
Doesn't Work:
echo -e 'hello\nworld' | lzma -9 | base64 -w0 | xargs -0 printf "https://itty.bitty.site/#/%s\n"
https://itty.bitty.site/#/XQAAAAT//////////wA0GUnujd0WqmGEqzUJYWnr//01wAA=
The browser will just convert the \n to a space

Does Work:
echo -e 'hello<br>world' | lzma -9 | base64 -w0 | xargs -0 printf "https://itty.bitty.site/#/%s\n"
https://itty.bitty.site/#/XQAAAAT//////////wA0GUnujfhZ7p+6lHFjGZzGjsY///9cyAAA
The browser converts the <br> correctly

Or wrap the whole thing in a pre tag
