<PLAINTEXT> Command

Command Syntax:
<PLAINTEXT>
some text or commands to be included as as unformatted or uninterpreted
</PLAINTEXT>
The command renders enclosed text as completely unformatted and in a non-proportionally spaced font, usually Courier New 10 point. It also halts execution of any included code, which is also simply displayed as normal text.
See also: <PRE>, <XMP>.
Warning: The Netscape browser does not recognize the command end tag. This means that any code placed after the initial <PLAINTEXT> command tag will not be interpreted. This can halt the loading of a page.
Other browsers may or may not recognize the command end tag. Use the <XMP> command until browser issues are resolved.

Example:

<PLAINTEXT>
This is a block
   of plain text
      which            is        rendered
just as typed 

within the code.
</PLAINTEXT>
