Width on a <pre> tag

[Decode]

Is there any way to put a width on a pre tag. I cant just do <pre style="width: 200px;">lololol lololol lololol lololol </pre> because it still goes over the width. Its for a profile page, and its to stop people using html in there profiles.

Use PHP to edit out the HTML?

I was going to do that, but then when you did a new line in the textarea where you edit your details it didnt show up on the profile page (so that why i added the pre tags)

Just try !important and overflow: scroll; if you need it.
