Answer 1

This is cumbersome, but it works if code folding is important to you:

        
def some_funtion
        
    return 'Hello, World!'
        
end

In your css,

    pre { margin:0 }

In vim, writing your code normally and then executing:

    :s/\t\t\([^\n]\+\)/
\1<\/pre>/


for each line would work.
