And when did that change? ------ snip 8<------ RFC 1866 Hypertext Markup Language - 2.0 November 1995 5.5.2. Preformatted Text: PRE The <PRE> element represents a character cell block of text and is suitable for text that has been formatted for a monospaced font. The <PRE> tag may be used with the optional WIDTH attribute. The WIDTH attribute specifies the maximum number of characters for a line and allows the HTML user agent to select a suitable font and indentation. ------>8 snip ------ Right there it clearly says the text in a pre-block is supposed to be monospaced. Elijah ------ has never seen a browser break the mono-font for <PRE> rule
