Thanks. I eventually got .pre to work when I realised that it required
the Kwiki::PreformattedBlocks plugin.
It creates the elements like this  <pre class="formatter_pre"> </pre>

Obviously this links to the CSS and how it appears is how
class="formatter_pre" is defined.
However, what if you wanted one style for code and one style for
things like signatures.
Would I have to create a new plugin to do this? Maybe copy
PreformattedBlocks and make a ".pre2" command that created the <pre>
elements with a different class style attribute?

Would this be easy enough, considering I have never made a plugin
before (or even programmed in Perl)?

Or is there a better way to do it?
