Extra spaces around code blocks

[apjanke]

Code blocks interspersed with text render with too many blank lines surrounding the code block.

Legacy bug report: rtomayko/ronn#63

For example, this:

Renders as this:

I modified the code to make the output more compact and strip extra leading newlines from <pre> output, but that didn't fix it. Looks like these extra blank lines are being added at the nroff stage of the pipeline, downstream from the ROFF text, so this needs to be handled at the pager level.

Ronn is defaulting to use plain more as its pager. But modern Unix systems seem to use more -is as their default pager for man. (See man man.) That -s option is for condensing consecutive blank lines.

I've modified the default pager to be more -is: f528c25. That fixes up the output.

If you're still seeing these extra lines, check your $PAGER and $MANPAGER environment variables to make sure they're not set to something that lacks the -s option.

I think that's all we can do about this. Closing.
