These two both appear to be a picture of a heavily redacted portion of
HTML source.
A better way to post source code, especially if you're asking for help
fixing it, is somewhere like Pastebin [0], which allows people to copy
and paste it to test.

At a guess, because <pre> enforces the layout of the text, and normally
uses a fixed-width font. Without knowing what it is that's being
printed (that is, the stuff under the big black rectangles), it's going
to be hard to tell.

There are plenty of HTML- and web- orientated forums and the like, from
which you're likely to get quicker and more accurate answers.
