They can't be formatted with CSS?
.indent { left-margin: 2em ; right-margin: 3em }
using pre for formatting means that you risk losing the formatting, and that
you force people to scroll horizontally if they hvae smaller width than you
did.

Does anyone know of any accessibility issues with the <PRE> tag?
We have some International Pension Agreements that are next to impossible to
format without using the <blockquote> tag and since we can not use
<blockquote> for formatting text, I am investigating other alternatives.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
