Main differences include:
It wraps text that overflows the page.
It allows mid-line-breaks (but not always consistently).
Main limitations include:
If the text is a single long word, it won't be wrapped and will still break out to the right hand of the page.
HTML and wikimarkup aren't disabled as in <pre>...</pre> and are rendered as usual (thus if a parameter contains any wikimarkup, enclose it in <nowiki>...</nowiki>); however, multiple spaces are preserved.
As with <pre> and <code>, {{pre}} displays text in the font specified as the monospace font in the user's browser options, or specified in the user's CSS pages.
{{Pre|'''First line, markup working:''' and HTML comment <!--HIDDEN--> hidden.
'''Second line, long text wrapping:''' all work and no play make jack a dull boy all work and no play make jack a dull boy all work and no play make jack a dull boy all work and no play make jack a dull boy all work and no play make jack a dull boy.
'''Third line with raw | pipe is handled''', but the space before the pipe is lost. Up to raw 20 pipes are handled, else use <nowiki>|</nowiki> and {{!}} it's {{!}} OK.
'''Fourth line, multiple spaces preserved''' unlike in HTML and wikitext.
'''Fifth line, following the previous one'''.
'''Last line''' preceded by two blank lines in markup and in display.

To indicate text is a variable name. Use for any variable names except those including "I" (uppercasei) and/or "l" (lowercaseL); for these, {{var serif}} should be used to ensure a noticeable distinction
To display parameters as used in code (i.e. with triple braces), especially to indicate relationships between them. May be combined with {{parameter}} above
To display parameter values lightly bordered; replaces <code>...</code>, especially when value contains embedded or leading/trailing blanks; visualized here with middot (·) but can use ␠, ▯, or any character.
To indicate text is source code. To nest other templates within {{code}}, use <code>...</code>. {{codett}} differs only in styling: someMethod becomes someMethod
(or {{dc}}) To indicate deprecated source code in template documentation, articles on HTML specs, etc. The {{dc2}} variant uses strike-through (<blink>) while {{dcr}} uses red (<blink>).
