subject White space should be significant in ScalaDoc comments
code 
 /** 
  **  ...
  **  Example:<br>
  **  <pre>
  **    override def New(sz:Int,t:aNode):This {
  **      new C[T](order) {
  **        override def size=sz;
  **        override protected val tree:aNode=t;
  **      }
  **    }
  **  </pre>
  */
what happened 
White spaces are droped, and the example is left justified:

override def New(sz:Int,t:aNode):This {
new C[T](order) {
override def size=sz;
override protected val tree:aNode=t;
}
}
what expected That ScalaDoc keeps white space in comments, so that the example is "nicely" formatted: 
  override def New(sz:Int,t:aNode):This {
    new C[T](order) {
      override def size=sz;
      override protected val tree:aNode=t;
    }
  }
