| + | Text which does not begin in the first column of the wiki editing box will be shown indented, in a fixed width font. |
| + | For example, this line was preceded by a single space. It preserves whitespace formatting: A B C D E F G H I |

| + | A single paragraph of text can be entered with a space in column 1 (the first character position in the wiki editing box) of every line to preserve the raw text format of the entry. |
| + | For example, this block of lines was |
| + | entered with 4 spaces before each line. |
| + | A B C D E F G H I |

| + | The parser tags {{Code|<nowiki><pre> and </pre></nowiki>}} may be entered before and after blocks of preformatted text to preserve the raw format of the text. This is suitable for chat transcripts such as [[Design_Team/Meetings/2009-03-01]]. |
| + | === Line wrapping === |
| + | Line wrapping can be adjusted with the style property '''white-space''' (See http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_text_white-space.asp) |
| + | * With this tag and style, {{Code|<nowiki><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"></nowiki>}}, whitespace is preserved by the browser. Text will wrap when necessary, and on line breaks. |
