But with ADE, it doesn't wrap at the right. It just gets pushed off to the right off the screen both in ADE for Windows and ADE for Sony. So using <pre> with ePub is a bad idea at present. Just use <div> and <br /> for line endings. That works for wrapping lines properly.

<pre> is meant to not wrap. So when creating ePub, it should never be used.

But, for a standard text book that you want to flow, I agree <pre> is not a good choice. BOb |

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.
