Others have outlined the reasons not to use pre tags, so I won't go on
about that too much, but to say that it's inappropriate to reformat
preformatted text IMHO. That's just opinion, though.
There are arguments both ways with regard to the use of whitespace as a

Here's one way of doing that...
In your (X)HTML, assign a class of popup to any links that you want

As Patrick suggests, it's a simple case of absolute positioning. Set a
relative start then work from there. (The site is temporarily disabled so

The short answer is no.
Dublin core is an initiative that introduces a standardized vocabulary
for resource (Web page) descriptions. So, unless metatags (of any
description) harm your ranking, then there is no way that DC tags in and

Just to be clear, there is no way that Dublin Core in and of itself will

Used properly, DC tags may or may not improve your ranking, but they
will not harm it either.

What you're presumably driving at is that pages look to need be either

academic at this stage, is

You are correct, you can not use a strict XHTML doctype if you want to
