Shouldn't you be using the code tag instead? It's a semantically better option.
However, the
Prabhath - code is an inline element, so while is should probably be
included somewhere in marking up code, you need something else on the
outside of it to create the block. pre is semantically pretty sound

To split hairs, though, the problem with pre seems to be that it
appears very much like a presentational, rather than a semantic element.
Any semantics seem to be inferred by the fact that the content is
preformatted, which is a
After some testing, I think it's best to stick to using pre for
blocks of code. code won't preserve whitespace, so your code's
not going to have any indenting unless you use a lot of non-breaking
spaces which will inflate the size of your file and not to mention a

Surely, the fact that pre denotes 'preformatting' means that the
formatting has occurred 'somewhere else' and not in the body
of the html.
So, in that sense, in what way is pre 'presentational' any

I think this will do the trick. It's a little odd, and I'll have to
test this out more, doing a preg_match_all to determine how many \t's
there are (so we know what class='tab$number' to use), but I think in
most instances this will suffice.
Thanks for pointing this solution out...v

Ahh, cool. Looks like the white-space property is supported well enough.

Thanks for pointing out the property, Martin.
