Pre tag use

I've seen the <pre> tag used several times in code, I think to improve security (rings a bell with another post) and I was wondering what advantage this could give?
(I know the pre tag just preserves whitespace so please don't tell me that.)

The <PRE> tag is mainly used to align Form Fields, there is another (better) way aligning Form Fields and it is the <TABLE> tag.

The <Pre> tag means Preformatted text. And if youy were to use the <PRE> tag, you can space your form fields or whatever with the use of the TAB button

There is no security involved at all with <pre> nor would it aid in security. The <pre> tag shows plain text to look like html using the default text.

For example, if I type the following. It will appear on one line. <pre> just formats it to look like the <br> and are there.
<html><body>
Hello.
How are you?

What is your name?</body></html>

I know that, and I told you not to tell me that! It was in php actually, but I can't find the example.
