In texi2html there is no extra space added, however the indentation is
achieved through wrapping the <pre> in a table:

<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="smallexample">This is
    a small
example
</pre></td></tr></table>

So this is not really possible to use css for the indentation. To drop the
table, the simplest should be to do, in an init file (with the cvs 
version, in the release, on has to use something along q{""}):

foreach my $complex_format (keys(%$complex_format_map))
{
   $complex_format_map->{$complex_format}->{'end'} = "";
   $complex_format_map->{$complex_format}->{'begin'} = "";
}

This may also modify how some parts of menus are formatted. To avoid that
you could also do something along:

foreach my $complex_format (keys(%$complex_format_map))
{
   next if grep {$_ eq $complex_format} ('menu', 'detailmenu', 'direntry', 
'menu_comment');
   $complex_format_map->{$complex_format}->{'end'} = "";
   $complex_format_map->{$complex_format}->{'begin'} = "";
}


Should this be associated with a variable that may be set in an init file?
