This template implements a version of the functionality provided by the {{Wikipedia|HTML}} {{tag|pre|o}} tag.

===TemplateData===

<syntaxhighlight lang="JSON">
{
"description": "This template implements a version of the functionality provided by the HTML <pre> tag.",
"params": {
"1": {
"label": "Text",
"type": "string",
"description": "The text which should be wrapped in pre tags.",
"required": true
},
"style": {
"label": "Style",

</syntaxhighlight>


===Usage===

This template supports two parameters

{{para|width}} The width of the pre "box" <br>
{{para|space}} The way white space is handled in the pre "box"

{{markup
|<nowiki>{{Pre|
This Pre-format

can look

like this.
}}</nowiki>
|{{Pre|
This Pre-format

can look

like this.
}}
}}
Main differences include:
* It wraps text that overflows the page.
* It allows mid-line-breaks (but not always consistently).

Main limitations include:
* If the text is a single long word, it won't be wrapped and will still break out to the right hand of the page.
* HTML and wikimarkup aren't disabled as in {{tag|pre}} and are rendered as usual (thus if a parameter contains any wikimarkup, enclose it in {{tag|nowiki}}); however, multiple spaces are preserved.

As with {{tag|pre|o}} and {{tag|code|o}}, {{tl|pre}} displays text in the font specified as the monospace font in the user's browser options, or specified in the user's CSS pages.

===Example===
'''Markup'''

<pre>
{{Pre|
'''First line, markup working:''' and HTML comment  hidden.

'''Second line, long text wrapping:''' all work and no play make jack a dull boy all work and no play make jack a dull boy all work and no play make jack a dull boy all work and no play make jack a dull boy all work and no play make jack a dull boy.

'''Third line with raw | pipe is handled''', but the space before the pipe is lost. Up to raw 20 pipes are handled, else use <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki>{{!}}<nowiki></nowiki></nowiki> and {{!}} it's {{!}} OK.

'''Fourth line, multiple spaces preserved''' unlike in HTML and wikitext.
'''Fifth line, following the previous one'''.

'''Last line''' preceded by two blank lines in markup and in display.
}}
</pre>

; Result
