This is deprecated in favour of <pre>.

This renders text in fixed-width type. It also turns off HTML parsing until the browser encounters the closing tag. This does strange stuff to Netscape 2.0b5 & 3.0 but it is recognized by Microsoft IE 2.0

I was going to include an example but it will not display - at all. I've tested this with Netscape 3.0 and 4.0.

Example:
<plaintext>this is an example of (CRLF)
the plaintext tag. It includes a number of (CRLF)
carriage return line feeds to perform (CRLF)
the same function as the
tag.</plaintext>
