HTML - <pre> Tag

Description

The HTML <pre> tag is used for indicating preformatted text. The code tag surrounds the code being marked up.

Browsers normally render pre text in a fixed-pitched font, with whitespace in tact, and without word wrap.

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

   <head>
      <title>HTML pre Tag</title>
   </head>

   <body>
      <pre>
               This text is
         in a fixed-pitch
               font, and it preserves
         both    spaces and line breaks
      </pre>
   </body>

</html>
