A line of text in an HTML document will be wrapped by the browser into
window-width sections automatically....unless a newline is forced by a <BR/>
tag, an ending </P> tag, or something similar.  <CR>s and <LF>s (0x0D and
0x0A), embedded in the HTML document, are ignored by the browser.

There are exceptions to the above, though. Although I don't remember what they
are (and can't be bothered to look) there are tags which can instruct the
broswer to pay attention to traditional newline formatting.  I have used them
before, to easily stick the output of 'uptime,' 'df,' or something similar into
a web page and preserve the formatting.
