RE: The <pre> element

Hi Mike,

 

I did a quick test with this, and it worked as expected in FF & IE.

 

<!doctype html>

<html lang="en">

<head>

  <meta charset="utf-8">

 

  <title>Testing the PRE element</title>

  <meta name="description" content="Test File: [insert Title]">

  <meta name="author" content="John Foliot - Deque Systems Inc.">

</head>

 

<body>

<h1>Testing the &lt;pre&gt; element</h1>

<p>This is paragraph text</p>

<pre>This

 

is

 

      &lt;pre&gt;

  content

</pre>

 

</body>

</html>

 

Not sure what else to suggest – can you point us to an example where this wasn’t working properly?

 

JF

PRE element is part of the HTML 5.1 spec:

Hi Steve--

 

When I inserted an example of code within <pre> and </pre> both FF and IE treated it as if it were part of a website. Adding the <code> element had no effect.

Has anyone else noticed that <pre> is no longer supported by browsers?

 

I haven't, what do you mean by not supported?
