To write text in formatted wayWeb browsers does not recognize newline characters or spaces which you input into your HTML file unless you specify a <BR> tag. Here comes the use of <PRE> tag. <PRE> tag generates text in a fixed-width font. This tag also makes spaces, new lines, and tabs significant — multiple spaces are displayed as multiple spaces, and lines break in the same locations as in the source HTML file. The text to appear in the browser as it does in Notepad simply write text in between <pre>and </pre> tag.<html> 
<body>

<basefont face=”verdana” size=3 color=red> this text is in verdana of size 3 and color red.<Br>
