Displaying monospaced (preformatted) text


The PortableHTML template provides two styles for preformatted text: Preformatted and PreformattedRelative.

In HTML, preformatted text displays text where each character has the same width (that is, is monospaced). Preformatted text also preserves spaces in the text; in all other HTML styles, multiple spaces are collapsed into a single space when they are displayed in a browser. In HTML, the <PRE> tag creates preformatted text. For example:

 <PRE>
	All characters use a monospaced font.
	Their positions remain constant and can
	not be altered by the display device.
</PRE>

To generate preformatted text from one of your FrameMaker paragraphs, map it to Preformatted or PreformattedRelative.

 	All characters use a monospaced font.
	Their positions remain constant and can
	not be altered by the display device.
