using < pre > is my worst enemy actually. it is helpful in concept but just so awfully executed

it's basically a tag that keeps any text inside it formatted Exactly as it is in the code editor-- same font, same spacing/line breaks (including like tons of tabs or whatever), same size. but then it's like... if you wanna adjust anything, you have to use css to change the font & stuff, and now you have to fuck with any spacing forever bc it won't match up exactly with what's in the code editor-

-since now your site text and code editor text have different letter sizes/spacing etc. so it just becomes kind of a hassle, even though the idea is helpful! it took me a million years last night to format my poem exactly how i wanted on a page b/c getting the spacing right was infuriating

yeah it can be pretty finicky and annoying lol, i use it for both poetry and ascii art, when it says formatted as it is in the code it's moreso referring to whitespace! as in, consecutive spaces won't get ignored, newlines are kept, etc etc, the stuff that won't come across if you just use a < p > tag!
