I found a solution that may be workable (but it would have to be done by ebid in the listing box CSS stylesheet) that would allow <pre> element and still also allow text wrapping:
Code:
Solution 2: Text-Wrapping
We’re used to our source code wrapping to the next line if it’s wider than our code editor’s window. It wouldn’t be unusual to port this convention over to the Web.
Text-wrapping can be done using the white-space CSS property. There’s a nifty value for white-space that works well for preelements: pre-wrap.
pre {
white-space: pre-wrap;
}
