When writing in HTML, the 

 tag is a block element used to designate preformatted text. It is useful because the text between 
 tags has its spaces and line breaks preserved, in addition to being displayed in a fixed-width font. The following sections contain information about this tag, including an example of it in use, and related attributes and browser compatibility.

Deprecated attributes
Within an HTML tag, an attribute dictates certain aspects of an HTML element. Attributes are made up of a name and value pair; all tags support standard attributes. The only attribute unique to the
 tag is deprecated, meaning that it may function currently, but is not supported in going forward. In this case, CSS should be used in place of these attributes.


The 
 tag is quite useful for displaying organized computer code.
