title: HTML <pre> tag adds in extra line breaks
body: <p>The HTML tag &lt;pre&gt; adds in a linebreak at the top and bottom of text.</p>
  
  <p>So:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;pre&gt;Text line     1&lt;/pre&gt;
  &lt;pre&gt;Text line     2&lt;/pre&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>appears as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Line     1
  
  Line     2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to only make it respect whitespaces without line breaks, in the HTML tag itself and not through CSS?</p>
