Hey! Wonder how I made my spiffy names in my friends section??? Well, look no further. Typically when you write an HTML file browsers strip out whatever extra white space it sees (spaces, returns, tabs) and if you make a spiffy looking table or drawing or something with characters it'll look all jumbled and stuff.

Here's your way around that: the preformatted text tag <PRE>. Any white spaces you put into text surrounded by the <PRE> and </PRE> tags is retained in the final output. With the <PRE> and </PRE> tags, you can format the text the way you want it to look, and it will be presented that way.


For example:

Enter the following into an html document, using no <PRE> and </PRE> tags:
	(  )
  Moo	(OO)
	 \/-------\
	  ||     | \
          ||---w||  * 
          ||    ||   


Without using <PRE> and </PRE> tags it would look as follows:
( ) Moo (OO) \/-------\ || | \ ||---w|| * || ||
But if you write the HTML code as:
<PRE>

        (  )
  Moo	(OO)
	 \/-------\
	  ||     | \
          ||---w||  * 
          ||    ||    

</PRE>

Using <PRE> and </PRE> tags it would look as follows:
        (  )
  Moo	(OO)
	 \/-------\
	  ||     | \
          ||---w||  * 
          ||    ||   


Undertand? Good... Now go and use this and make some spiffy page designs!
