Usage[edit source]
This template supports two parameters
Template:Para The width of the pre "box"
Template:Para The way white space is handled in the pre "box"
Template:Markup
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 Template:Tag and are rendered as usual (thus if a parameter contains any wikimarkup, enclose it in Template:Tag); however, multiple spaces are preserved.
As with Template:Tag and Template:Tag, {{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.
Example[edit source]

'''Third line with raw | pipe is handled''', but the space before the pipe is lost. Up to raw 20 pipes are handled, else use <nowiki>|</nowiki> and {{!}} it's {{!}} OK.
'''Fourth line, multiple spaces preserved''' unlike in HTML and wikitext.
'''Fifth line, following the previous one'''.
'''Last line''' preceded by two blank lines in markup and in display.
