Details

The Microsoft knowledge base article
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=224282
contains sample code in a <pre></pre>
block.  Firefox 1.0 and Mozilla 1.7.1
render that code snippet without line
breaks.  Internet Explorer renders the
code snippet correctly.
The markup is:

<pre class="code">...
code snippet...
</pre>


The style (http://support.microsoft.com/common/css/default/xmlContent.css?1):

.kb div pre
{
	color: Maroon;
	background-color: #eeeeee;
	padding: 0.5em;
	margin: 1em;
	font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;
	overflow: auto;
	width: 100%;
	white-space: normal;
}

Mozilla does the right thing since they specified "white-space: normal".
