grepping the files in  /lynx_help/keystrokes/  gives  9  which use <pre>:
 
  alt_edit_help.html:<p><pre>
  dired_help.html:<pre>
  edit_help.html:<p><pre>
  environments.html:<pre>
  keystroke_help.html:<PRE>
  movement_help.html:<PRE>
  other_help.html:<PRE>
  scrolling_help.html:<PRE>
  test_display.html:<PRE>
