Template:Pre2/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Pre2.

It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page.

{{Pre2}}} uses  HTML_element#Other_containers tags, but with text that is either  wrap word wrap or is contained in a horizontal scrollbox. This means the text will not stretch past the right side of the screen.

As it uses real <pre> tags (unlike {{pre}}), it will be displayed correctly regardless of how the user's Wikipedia  skin renders <pre> boxes.

If you want to disable  wikitext in it, you should use <nowiki> tags inside the template (see below).
