"... I would print the lines here, but it's html which the brower wants to print as ..."
So, consider the "html" to be code (which it is) and wrap it in <c>...html here </c> tags.*
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
