This is a table and not a literal block. 

The best here to preserve the author's intent is to just adjust the table 
markups in order to make it parseable, e. g.:

  This file shows which error types are supported:

  ================	===================================
  Error Type Value	Error Description
  ================	===================================
  0x00000001		Processor Correctable
  0x00000002		Processor Uncorrectable non-fatal
  0x00000004		Processor Uncorrectable fatal
  0x00000008		Memory Correctable
  0x00000010		Memory Uncorrectable non-fatal
  0x00000020		Memory Uncorrectable fatal
  0x00000040		PCI Express Correctable
  0x00000080		PCI Express Uncorrectable fatal
  0x00000100		PCI Express Uncorrectable non-fatal
  0x00000200		Platform Correctable
  0x00000400		Platform Uncorrectable non-fatal
  0x00000800		Platform Uncorrectable fatal
  ================	===================================

After such change:
