How to move <PRE> definition inside <TD> ...< /TD> to a stylesheet ?

[Matt Adams]

I want to move the following <PRE> defintion to a css file:

<TABLE><TR><TD><PRE>sample text</PRE></TD>
<TD> not predefined font</TD></TR></TABLE>

should be

<TABLE><TR><TD class=aaa>sample text</TD>
<TD> not predefined font</TD></TR></TABLE>

with

mycss.css containing

TD.aaa { ...... ???? ........... }

And

td.aaa { font-family: monospace; }

perhaps with some specific fixed-width fonts listed first. The pre
element in HTML preserves white space but it also implies the need for
monospace font, and in CSS, these features are separate.

On the other hand, if it is essential that a table cell be presented
the same way as pre elements, then is it really a CSS affair to say
that? Maybe pre markup is better. Maybe a different approach is needed,
depending on _why_ pre would be used.
