• One project has been importing large amounts of pre-formatted text out of a 3rd-party database and wanted to display it on a site with as little effort as possible. The best solution was to display it as pre-formatted with the <pre> tag, but also tell the browser to word-wrap it so it doesn’t all display as one big line:
  <pre><code>
  pre {
  white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;
  word-wrap: break-word;
  font: 12px verdana;
  }
  </code></pre>
