Template:Pre/Documentation

Usage

This template supports two parameters:

|width= The width of the pre "box". This can take any of the usual CSS units, but using anything other tham em or % is unwise, as different screens can behave unpredictably with absolute sizes.

|space= The way white space is handled in the pre "box". This can take any of the usual options for white-space in CSS. This will default to the behavour of |space=pre-wrap.

As with <pre> and <code>, {{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.
