Template:Pre/doc

This template implements a version of the functionality provided by the HTML tag.

Usage
This template supports two parameters

width The width of the pre "box" space The way white space is handled in the pre "box"

Main differences include:
 * It wraps text that overflows 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  and are rendered as usual (thus if a parameter contains any wikimarkup, enclose it in ); however, multiple spaces are preserved.

As with and, pre displays text in the font specified as the monospace font in the user's browser options, or specified in the user's CSS pages.
