Ok, it seems that I misremembered what <pre> did.  Looking it up now,
though...  My very old reference says "You should not nest other kinds of tags
within preformatted text because browsers may interpret such tags strangely.
The only exception is the anchor tag, <A> ..."

Since <pre> is supposed to (according to this HTML 3.2 reference) display the
text in a fixed-width font which is adequate for presenting code, maybe it'd
be better to use just <pre> rather than <pre><code>?
