<pre> tag not styling

I want to style text on my website inside a <pre> tag but it will never work.

I have tried putting this in my CSS:

pre {
    font-family: Georgia;
}

And I have also tried putting it inline like this:

<pre style=”font-family: Georgia;”>

But none of these work, the font stays as monospace.

These things work here, but not on my website.

Why is this happening? If there is no solution, is there an alternative to the <pre> tag which lets me have line breaks?

Solution

  • I had two stylesheets on one page which caused the pre text to be monospace. Removing one of them fixed the issue.
