preformatted
Ready for display
Preformatted describes text or content whose spacing, line breaks, and layout have been set in advance and should be preserved exactly as entered.
In computing, preformatted text displays in a fixed-width font with all whitespace intact: The code appeared in a preformatted block.
The term contrasts with text that flows and wraps automatically.
