- No. It should mean "newlines and spaces significant."

- Since one can already imbed codes in PRE sections, the
- browsers are already screwing around with the formatting. A line
- break primitive makes for messy coding (I sure wouldn't want to
- format Shakespeare with it).
-
- I need one of two things:
-
- a) PRE defaults to the proportional spaced font.
-
- or
-
- b) A primitive (<R> for Roman?) that forces the viewer to use the
- proportional spaced font.
