Newlines within HTML blocks get rendered as <br/>

[zombrodo]

I've been toying with HTML for some custom tables, and I ran into an issue where it appears newlines and whitespace within HTML tags are rendered as <br/> and "&nbsp " before the block instead of being ignored.

Example:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>foo</td>
    <td>bar</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>baz</td>
    <td>boo</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Output:

If I write my HTML as a single line - <table><tr><td>foo</td><td>bar</td></tr></table> then it'll output without the leading whitespace. Here's both side by side:
