The <pre> tag was used by whomever made the ePub edition of
Neptune Crossing and if you change the size of the font, it will have sections that will not wrap. So for ePub, <pre> is never a good idea. ADE does not handle lines longer then the screen. So in that case,
never is the correct word to use.
