[l2h] verbatim-like environments

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Hi,

I'm attempting to define a verbatim-like environment, like so:

\newenvironment{AAA}{%
\begin{tabular}{|l|}\hline%
\color[rgb]{1.0,0.0,0.0}%
\begin{rawhtml}<PRE>\end{rawhtml}%
}{%
\begin{rawhtml}</PRE>\end{rawhtml}%
\hline\end{tabular}%
}

and then use it:

\begin{AAA}
  Hello
    there,
      hi?

  Well,
     goodbye!
\end{AAA}

I'm getting the following output (approximated in ASCII art), the red
color is properly set:

.--------------.
|              |
|Hello         |
|    there     |
|      hi?     |
|              |
|              |
|              |
|Well,         |
|     goodbye! |
|              |
`--------------'

As I see it, there are two problems with the above picture:

1) the first line after every double line break loses its leading spaces
2) there are extra lines on every double line break and at the start and
   end of the <PRE>..</PRE> block

The expected output would be something like

.--------------.
|  Hello       |
|    there     |
|      hi?     |
|              |
|  Well,       |
|     goodbye! |
`--------------'

Is there a way of fixing this?  I'm not using the actual verbatim
environment because I'd like to be able to change colors in the middle of
those pseudo-verbatim blocks.
