# [Plugin: HTML Import 2] HTML Markup Preserve Format

 * It appears that HTML Import strips out the spaces and carriage returns if text
   is contained within `<pre>`
    Anyone know of a workaround for this that can accommodate
   a large number of pages?
 * WordPress seems to respect the formatting within `<pre></pre>`

 * Another user has proposed a solution over in [this thread](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-html-import-2-importing-text).
   I haven’t had a chance to incorporate that into the plugin yet, but if you’re
   comfortable editing your copy of it, this should work.
