Description

Sometimes I want to add a code snippet in comments, but the pre tag isn't allowed there. It will be pretty harmless, since we won't allow any attributes.

You should use the <code> tag for code snippets. Most themes style this with a monospace font and most code block styling plugins work off this tag too.

Don't see any other need for <pre> tags in comments.
