A monospaced font is what many things are preformated on... otherwise I
could include
<PRE>
/RTF ....
</PRE>
and you would have an RTF preformated section... I don't think so...
... A more descriptive definition of <PRE> is probably to display the
block as if it were formatted for an old text terminal at WIDTH
width... This I don't see people doing yet, because by default, the
text is supposed to be hard wrapped at WIDTH width...
