The reason to never use the <pre> tag in ePub is that ADE does not wrap a <pre. tag and ADE does not have a scroll bar to scroll. So what you get is the line cut off if the line is lone enough to not fit fully. a <div> tag with <br /> will work and wrap as need be. I know this is a flaw in ADE. But since <pre> does not work well in some cases, it should not be used.
