Sorry the mentioned page uses <pre></pre>, a right example would be
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html where we have things like
<tt># pkg_add -r gnome2</tt> etc.

I'm picky too.
I just did some test on http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html
with
tt {
}
instead of
tt {
font-family: monospace;
font-size: 1.4em;
}
This seems far better and closer to what we have in docs/
Tell me what you think about it (you may want to use the Web developer
extention with Moz or Firefox).
