HTML <pre> element


<pre> tag define a block of text as is without word wrap.

<pre>
var d = new Date();
alert(d.toDateString()); 
alert(d.getDate()); 
d.setDate(24);
alert(d.toDateString());
</pre>





var d = new Date();
alert(d.toDateString()); 
alert(d.getDate()); 
d.setDate(24);
alert(d.toDateString());





Without <pre> tag, notice the difference.



var d = new Date();
alert(d.toDateString()); 
alert(d.getDate()); 
d.setDate(24);
alert(d.toDateString());






var d = new Date();
alert(d.toDateString()); 
alert(d.getDate()); 
d.setDate(24);
alert(d.toDateString());



HTML tags will not show as is inside pre tag

<b>New York</b> is a big city.






New York is a big city.



If we want to show "<b>New York</b>"
, instead of show "New York" as bold, we can substitute "<" with "<", 
and ">" with ">".

&lt;b&gt;New York&lt;/b&gt; is a big city.







<b>New York</b> is a big city.
