I'm sure there's a template that you could use (on wikipedia) or make
( on your own private wiki) which wraps your text in a div with some
special CSS.
The pre tag means preformatted, which is why unlike other HTML tags it
pays attention to whitespace like tabs new lines and more than one
consecutive space. Using a div with a background color, border and
padding would provide the wrapping you want plus any style you are
after.
To integrate the HTML code into an article or template you will need
to use the <nowiki> tags around the HTML tags.

Good morning everyone,
Sometimes I like to use <pre> to give a certain piece of text that
extra
oomph, to emphasize it's a bit different from the other text.
As you know, <pre> is meant to add text without wrapping it, but
that's
a problem right now.
Is there a tag that looks like <pre>'s formatting and actually wraps
the
lines?
I'm sure it must exist, but I have no clue what this type of object
would be called...
Greetings,
