Well, it depends on where you want to use it, I think.

This is one case where I included it in an HTML page (with a ‘viewer’ 
application):

   http://map.tni.nl/viewer.php?f=/resources/disk/IDETECH.TXT

That file by the way also very well illustrates the need for 
preformatted text. You can also find even better examples if you browse 
through the files at http://map.tni.nl/resources/, a lot of them are 
taken from textfiles and transformed to HTML, but retain parts in 
preformatted text from the original where it is needed. E.g. see 
http://map.tni.nl/resources/dos2_environment.php#c2_3 and 
http://map.tni.nl/resources/msxbios.php#PCMPLY (although I admit some 
other uses of preformatted text could have better been ‘translated’ 
better with a table, but never mind that, call it a ‘partial’ 
transformation if you will).

Arguably, it wasn’t ‘art’ either.
