css as a better <pre> replacement

it won't be for long. I'm rewriting most of the HTML as we speak in a total 
site redesign. Strict adherance to the HTML 4.0 spec removes all the 
"formating" tags (bold, font, etc). That is what CSS is for.
I quick solution is to format the HTML like you normally would (PRE and 
everything) and then run it through tidy. It will output 4.0 compliant code

In all fairness, if you're talking about stuff you're submitting to the 
SxS... don't worry about it. Just mark it up, and the editors will 
format/tidy/etc as needed. that's what they are there for ;)
