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> <p> <dl> <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. </dl> <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 <pre> </pre> <p> <HR> <H2>Content</H2> <UL COMPACT> <LI>#PCDATA</LI> <LI><A HREF=a -- Anchor; source and/or destination of a link
