PRE

 [tree logo] '><br>
The PRE element is used to enclose text to be
displayed with a fixed width typewriter-like
font.  This is useful for presenting text that has
been formatted for a teletype, or for a fixed width
character display.</p>
<p>In particular,  as standard HTML does not contain
a TABLE element the PRE element is the only
way in which structured tables can be properly
displayed.</p>

<dt><b>Things to Avoid</b>
<dd>
You should NOT use elements that define paragraph
formatting within the PRE element. This means you should
not use <code> <P>, <ADDRESS>, <Hn> </code>and so on. You
should avoid the use of tab characters -- use single blank
characters to space text apart.
<dt> <b>Things That are OK</b>
   <dd>You <em> can </em> use Anchor.  A typed carriage return will
cause a new line in the presented text.

<h2> Example </h2>
<pre>
<pre>
  No sooner had these few words penetrated
    my hearing than I felt my powers increase
    beyond themselves; transcendent and elated,

  my eyes were lit with such new-given sight
    that they were fit to look without distress
    on any radiance, however bright
