The <pre></pre> tag

[bbalegere]

If you want a particular text to be displayed exactly the way you want it to be in a HTML site you can use the <pre> tag.
Usage
<pre>
--------------------
| |
--------------------
</pre>
The box above will be displayed exactly as it is above.

...I think your post is messed up.

Instead of:

-------------------
||
-------------------

which is what you would NORMALLY get with HTML, using PRE will make it this:

---------------
|             |
---------------

See? The only thing to keep in mind is that it changes the font to Courier New.
