[code] tag is broken

[lch]

The [code] tag is broken. It should just translate the [code] environment to a <pre> environment and it does that if you create a new post with [code] tags in it. But if you edit your post and want to submit it again, the forum software then prefixes every line of HTML output for the forum post with a <br/> tag, too, for unknown reasons. Together with the newlines encountered inbetween the <pre> tags this results in double newlines in the browser and makes the text rather unreadable because it's stretched out of proportions. Please remove the buggy bogus code which adds these useless <br/> tags all over the place.

Demo of [code] after an edit:

Code:

---

Nor dread nor hope attend

A dying animal;

A man awaits his end

Dreading and hoping all;

Many times he died,

Many times rose again.

A great man in his pride

Confronting murderous men

Casts derision upon

Supersession of breath;

He knows death to the bone

Man has created death.

The same thing happens when you quote somebody's private message in your reply to them, it adds an extra newline for every line break.

Yep, quotes get stretched every time when you reply to a PM, too, which can get quite long when you reply to each other a dozen times...
