Example
This example sets the font for preformatted elements to the Courier font family and decreases the font size by one:
pre {
font-family:"Courier New", Courier, monospace;
font-size: smaller;
}
Remarks
Since the "pre" tag is often used to designate code samples, you will often set the font for preformatted text to courier or another similar monospace font.
