Use case or problem
When pasting a non-HTML code snippet into a markdown non-HTML code block, it would be VERY helpful if Obsidian automatically converted to an ascii space in the block.
The problem comes in when you try to copy that code block into a program such as Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, it pastes the into the query window.
How to repro - open a browser page that contains SQL that you know contains . Select that SQL and Ctrl-C to copy that SQL code block. Open Obsidian and add a new page, start a SQL code block, move cursor into that code block. Press Ctrl-V to paste the code from clipboard into the SQL code block.
Press Ctrl-V to change the page to view mode, click ‘Copy’ on the code block.
Toggle back to SSMS and open a new query window. Then press Ctrl-V to paste the code.
Expected: The should not be in the pasted query.
Actual: The shows in the pasted query.
