The preformatted element (<pre>) preserves line breaks and spaces entered manually by the author in the content of the element, and also presents the content in a monospaced type font (depending on your output formatting processor). Do not use <pre> when a more semantically specific element is appropriate, such as <codeblock>.
<pre> MEMO: programming team fun day Remember to bring a kite, softball glove, or other favorite outdoor accessory to tomorrow's fun day outing at Zilker Park. Volunteers needed for the dunking booth. </pre>
