Actually, any HTML tags in the text between the <PRE> and </PRE> will
be interpreted and rendered as elsewhere, <PRE> only affects the
spacing/line breaks/formatting.
I poked around a little bit, and apparently there were some HTML tags
that "turned off" interpretation of the HTML tags inside them, but
they've been deprecated (<XMP>, <LISTING>, and <PLAINTEXT>). The
recommendation is to use <PRE>, because it does the "same thing".
Well, obviously it doesn't do the same thing. It looks like you (i.e.
Jay Macarty) may need to "parse" the HTML as you mentioned in your
original post.
