The <PRE> Tag
The <PRE> tag is used when you want to keep the same amount of whitespace on your web page as you have in your html code in your text editor. This is useful when you have to post programming code. Here is an example:
<PRE>
x=1;
y=2;
if (x==1)
y=2;
</PRE>
And this somewhat redundant code gives you this:
x=1;
y=2;
if (x==1)
y=2;
Notice how we didn't need to use <BR> or inside the <PRE> tags. This can save you some headaches from writing in line breaks and spaces manually so often.
<NOBR> and <WBR>
Any text you place between the <NOBR> and the </NOBR> tags will not break to the next line, even after reaching the end of someone's browser window. Here is an example:
<NOBR>

</NOBR>
When viewed on your web page, this will be one really long line, like this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
