If you are using the MidasWWW browser you can add support for the <pre> (and </pre>) tag
just by adding the following lines to the Midaswww.ad file
midaswww*WWWHyper*pre.font: -*-courier-medium-r-normal-*-17-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*
midaswww*WWWHyper*pre.breakBefore: SGMLBREAK_ALWAYS
midaswww*WWWHyper*pre.breakAfter: SGMLBREAK_ALWAYS
midaswww*WWWHyper*pre.tagList: SGMLAnchorText: a SGMLMarkerText: p
midaswww*WWWHyper*pre.defaultClass: SGMLPlainText
midaswww*WWWHyper*pre*p.breakBefore: SGMLBREAK_NEVER
and replacing the line beginning midaswww*WWWHyper*default.tagList: with
midaswww*WWWHyper*default.tagList: SGMLMarkerText: p isindex nextid

example).
