How do I wrap text in a pre tag?

Question

pre tags are super-useful for code blocks in HTML and for debugging output while writing scripts, but how do I make the text word-wrap instead of printing out one long line?

Answer 1

The answer, from this page in CSS:

pre {     white-space: pre-wrap;       /* Since CSS 2.1 */     white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;  /* Mozilla, since 1999 */     white-space: -pre-wrap;      /* Opera 4-6 */     white-space: -o-pre-wrap;    /* Opera 7 */     word-wrap: break-word;       /* Internet Explorer 5.5+ */ } 

Answer 2

This works great to wrap text and maintain white-space within the pre-tag:

pre {     white-space: pre-wrap; }
