They do apply, save this to a file on your PC and load it in your browser:

<html>
<head><title>test</title></head>
<body>
<pre>
now is the time
Is 2 < 3 or is 2 > 2
Is A<B or is A>B?
Note that the bold goes on until &lt;/b&gt;</b>
Is A&lt;B or is A&gt;B?
  Within &lt;pre&gt; blocks,
    line breaks, leading and     embedded spaces are honored
    a fixed-width font is used
Entities are honored: Mun&amp;ntilde;oz renders as Mu&ntilde;oz
I think that &lt;a 
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#edef-PRE"&gt;<a 
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#edef-PRE">links 
work</a>&lt;/a&gt;
We can have
&lt;i&gt;<i>Italics</i>&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;b&gt;<b>bold</b>&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;u&gt;<u>underline</u>&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;strike&gt;<strike>strikethrough</strike>&lt;/strike&gt;
&lt;EM&gt;<EM>usually like &lt;I&gt;</EM>&lt;/EM&gt;
&lt;STRONG&gt;<STRONG>usually like &lt;B&gt;</STRONG>&lt;/STRONG&gt;
&lt;TT&gt;<TT>sort of redundant</TT>&lt;/TT&gt;
&lt;DFN&gt;<DFN>Please define DFN</DFN>&lt;/DFN&gt;
&lt;q&gt;<q>Q might be supported</q>&lt;/q&gt;
How about &lt;span style="font-style: italic"&gt;<span 
style="font-style: italic">span?</span>&lt;/span&gt;
</pre>
