### How do I change my password?
@ -90,3 +91,14 @@ For example:
<PBot> b
<PBot> c
<PBot> And that's all I have to say about that. See https://0x0.st/-Okb.txt for full text.
### I made a command. It's supposed to output formatting with spaces and tabs?
By default, PBot collapses adjacent whitespace in command output. This is intended to
reduce visual noise in IRC channels.
If your command is registered by a plugin, use the [`cmdset`](Admin.md#cmsdset) command
to set the `preserve_whitespace` [command metadata](Admin.md#command-metadata-list) to
control this behavior.
If your command is a command-line module, use the [`factset`](Factoids.md#factset) command
to set the `preserve_whitespace` [factoid metadata](Factoids.md#factoid-metadata-list) instead.
