Please read also "the scriptures according to the Monastery" regarding (quasi-) html tags allowed here... and recite 20 Writeup Formatting Tips.

The </br> tag is amongst my bugaboos, here, as what PM allows/uses does not include that particular construct. Note that <br> is allowed, but the appropriate use of paragraph tags, <p> and </p> often/usually provides better presentation.

As for your data, it, like code, should be enclosed in code (<c>...</c> or <code>...</code>) tags.
