Title	Preformatted text doesn't work any more

In a default installation of 2.2.28, preformatted text (marked by three curly braces) is rendered to HTML as follows:

<span style="font-family:monospace; whitespace:pre;">
   ___ __     _    ____
  / __/ / ,__(_)_  \  /    We are GNU
 / (_  ,\/ _/ /_ \  \/   Free your mind
 \__/_/_/_//_/___/  () Free your software
</span>

whitespace is not a valid CSS attribute, so this doesn't work. I think it should be "white-space".

Even better would be for it to use <pre> tags, as it does on this site (which is why I can't provide a demo page), but I can't figure out how to do that. I also like the CSS style for <pre> on this site, and wish it was the default on new jspwiki installations.

See src/com/ecyrd/jspwiki/TranslatorReader.java:2886 for the location of the bug.

Cheers, Chris Wilson.

Well, the white-space may be a real bug, but what it does is that if you embed the three curly braces in the middle of a sentence, it approximates <pre> by using a span, but if you put them on their own lines, you get the <pre>. This was a specific request from someone, and it sort of makes sense (of course, there's a small bug in the implementation, see BugInlineUsageOfThreeBraceEscapingBroken.)
