The **`<pre>`** [HTML](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML) element represents preformatted text which is to be presented exactly as written in the HTML file. The text is typically rendered using a non-proportional, or [monospaced](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monospaced_font), font. Whitespace inside this element is displayed as written.
The **`<pre>`** [HTML](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML) element represents preformatted text which is to be presented exactly as written in the HTML file. The text is typically rendered using a non-proportional, or [monospaced](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monospaced_font) font.

Whitespace inside this element is displayed as written, with one exception. If one or more leading newline characters are included immediately following the opening `<pre>` tag, the _first_ newline character is stripped.

By default, `<pre>` is a [block-level](/en-US/docs/Glossary/Block-level_content) element, i.e. its default {{cssxref("display")}} value is `block`.
