Testing shows that closing the first <pre> has no effect at all.

Because I am creating an ascii-art layout for the pages that will look
something like this:
_______________________________________________________
/_________________________ ________________ ___________ )______
// ____ ____ )) )) //_______ )
// | __) | _ \ (( Ascii // // \\
// () | |__ | |_) | () \\ Photo (( Linux (( Site News\\
(( | __) | __/ )) Beer_Plants )) Porto \\ ))
\\ () | | ____ | | () // Mushrooms // Food )) //
)) |_| (____)|_| ((_____________// //________//
// )) ( :F_P: ( __________)
// // \__________)
(( ((
( ) ( )
||/___/fauxascii.com/________|| Page body.
||/____/photo/_______________||
||/_____/cemetery/___________||
||/______across_from_elmwood/||
||/______elmwood/____________||
||/______new_york/___________||
||/______newtown-rd/_________||
`=___________________________='
Everything "Page body" will be more or less the same on each page.
Everything to the left of it will fluctuate based on the current
possition on the site. In the area of "Page body" will be the actual
content for the page.
The only way I can see to script this for automated updates is via a table.
<table><tr><td><pre>
.----------------.
| banner |
|----------------|</pre></td></tr><tr><td><pre>
|links| body |
| \_________!___insert a </pre></td><td><pre> there
| | |
`----------------'</pre></td></tr></table>
But for the banner to line up with the link there has to be no spacing.
Which, as mentioned, works find in a text browser but doesn't want to
work in Firefox.
