Why is this format replacement needed?

   Hi,

   I have some trouble with code posted without using backticks (i'm using a Geshi syntax plugin)

   I noticed that the function "bb_autop" inside the file "functions.bb-formatting.php" adds new line characters before and after each html open/close tag (ul, li...). Responsible for this modification are these two rows:

   $pee = preg_replace('!(<(?:ul|ol|li|blockquote|pre|p)[^>]*>)!', "\n", $pee);
   	$pee = preg_replace('!(</(?:ul|ol|li|blockquote|pre|p)>)!', "\n", $pee);

   why is this replacement done?

   Probably just to keep things tidy, if not you could end up with ridiculously long lines with all of a post's content on.

   strange is that without these replacements the posted code / content is formatted as well.
   the make sense of you have all posted html elements without any whitespace.

   Back to the reason why I started this topic, it's not an important one right? :)
