This is a hold-over of the original site design when I didn't use 
pre-formatted whitespace for the examples.  (Yes, that was dumb.)

The change you purpose requires me to correct every quiz page.  <br />s 
will need to be translated to \ns as well.

Also, this change is incompatible with the Ruby code blocks, which are 
probably suffering from the same problems.  (I assume.)

I should have said "a working CSS patch", because if it's not that 
simple it's a waste of time on a doomed site.

These, and other reasons, are why I'm planning a replacement.
