Template:Pre/doc

Usage
Pre mimics the appearance of  tags.

 This Pre-format

can look

like this. 

Main differences include:


 * It disallows the text to overflow the page.
 * It allows mid-line-breaks (but not always consistently).

Main limitations include:


 * If the text is a single long word, it won't be wrapped and will still break out to the right hand of the page.
 * HTML and wikimarkup aren't disabled as in PRE and are rendered as usual (thus if a parameter might contain any wikitext, enclose it in  tags); similarly, multiple spaces are treated as a single one.
 * If there are only two lines, they will be stuck together, even if the source has a blank line between them.

As with , , and , the font used by Pre is the one selected by the user in his browser for fixed-width display, or customized in his personal CSS.
