<pre> is a nice tag to have in javadoc comments (that ones starting with /**): You can post preformatted information into your docs, e. g. file format and so on. The autoformat processor (STRG-SHIFT-F) then does not touch the part inside of the <pre> block. Unfortunately this is not exactly true: Autoformat inserts a blank comment line below <pre> and before </pre> every time it runs. That means, with every format run, there get more and more blank lines into the <pre> block.
