monospaced font in wikipedia

In case you need it again, the simple to get a monospaced font in wikipedia short of resorting to html markup is to leave a leading space before the line, thus

2021-07-30 15:00:00 (UTC) -07:00 = 08:00:00 (CA) and
2021-07-30 15:00:00 (UTC) -04:00 = 11:00:00 (NY)?

or

2021-07-30 08:00 (CA) -07:00 = 08:00 - (-07:00) = 15:00 (UTC) and
2021-07-30 11:00 (NY) -04:00 = 11:00 - (-04:00) = 15:00 (UTC)?

The latter is more useful but the natural instinct for a date/time you find on the sidewalk is:

2021-07-30 08:00 (CA) -07:00 = 01:00 (UTC) and
2021-07-30 11:00 (NY) -04:00 = 07:00 (UTC), which is wrong (and beside the point).

You can also use {{ code}} but it doesn't really lend itself to something this complex.

Thank you, it will be useful. But it took up a shocking amount of space here so I quickly reverted; felt like I was self-aggrandizing. Pbyhistorian ( talk) 16:02, 2 August 2021 (UTC) reply

Yes, it does, doesn't it! The other option might be to use {{ mono}} (with "1=" if the content contains any equals signs), which produces:

2021-07-30 15:00:00 (UTC) -07:00 = 08:00:00 (CA) and
2021-07-30 15:00:00 (UTC) -04:00 = 11:00:00 (NY)?
