All features of the filter and vim modules work with the latest beta, except for one final bug: leading spaces are stripped from the buffer.

The leading spaces are stripped before the buffer is saved to the file temp.tmp. Is it possible for the leading space NOT to be stripped? (If not, I'll just document this as a feature :-).

What we can do is this which is still ugly but picking up verbatim is always ugly: \unprotect \def\buff_start_indeed#1#2#3#4% {\edef\p_strip{\namedbufferparameter{#1}\c!strip}% \normalexpanded{\buff_pickup{#2}{#3}{#4}{}{\buff_stop{#4}}\ifx\p_strip\v!no\zerocount\else\plusone\fi}} \protect \definebuffer[Aditya][strip=no] \startAditya Leading spaces And some more And even more \stopAditya \typeAditya But then we need Wolfgang to double check if this extension has side effects elsewhere.
