The <pre> tag defines preformatted text.
Text in a <pre> element is displayed in a fixed-width font, and the text
preserves both spaces and line breaks. The text will be displayed exactly as
written in the HTML source code.
In the example below, I put white spaces (blank space in between lines) and
format the text in the notepad. When you open in the browser, it will display the
same format.
