Yep, <pre> uses a monospaced font. Ugly, but usefull for source code.

Hmm. They _shouldn't_ be recoded. But there are some weird situations
where this might happen - maybe some problem with a browser. But there
_may_ be still a bug that some textarea doesn't get properly encoded
characters from PyDS. Where did you try to enter the code exactly? There
were some of those problems in older versions, but I thought I fixed
all.

If you have SilverCity installed, you can use 

.. code-block:: HyperText

   <html>
   ...
   </html>

I've written a bit on the PyDS blog about this:
