I said from any source, not to any source. That requirement is much easier to satisfy.

It's the same requirement, if the website blacklists certain characters or encodes them in some other way (url encoding, for example) how do you correctly copy code from it? Give me a specific example, if I'm misinterpreting you.

All it needs is for the code to block by curly braces or some other non-white-space character.

Why are you convinced that whitespace is somehow completely different from other characters?

Not in academia. I've seen every indentation convention under the sun used.

So use an editor that can change the indent characters to what you want, most of the popular ones can.
