Comment:

 `<pre>` doesn't denote text that is excluded from external formatting,
 just text that has a "structure represented by typographic content rather
 than by elements".

 In other words, structure such as newlines and whitespace are determined
 using literal characters such as `\n` and ` ` rather than by elements such
 as `<br>`. CSS can still be used to style properties such as `line-
 height`, `font-weight`, `letter-spacing`, etc.

 I do agree, however, that when using the default Twenty Twenty theme, the
 line height in a Preformatted block is so large that it renders the block
 impractical for things such as ASCII art and diagrams. This `line-height`
 is set by Twenty Twenty's `pre` styling.

 I'd like us to consider decreasing the default `pre` line height, so am
 moving this ticket to Bundled Theme.
