User talk:GarveyPatrickD/Combining the nowiki and pre tags

As I state in the opening paragraph of this page, "This is motivated by the results seen after a migration utility was used on pages encoded in another wiki syntax for use in a replacement MediaWiki." The question I have now is, could this page be more compactly coded?

I wanted to show the MediaWiki source, how it displayed, and make a comment about what should be noted about each use of the tags. It was interesting getting the Display: portions to work the way I wanted them to display.

In fact, even when I had everything vertically and horizontally spaced and in a bold font as I wished, on my Dell Inspirion 1300 laptop running Windows XT SP2, it looked like the virgule (slash) in the end tag display was not bold. On our HP TouchSmart 600 running Windows 7 64-bit, the virgule still looks like it might not be as thick as the other bold characters in the tag.

So, I have two questions: Can fewer or different tags be used to build the Display: sections? Is the virgule transmitted actually a bold character?
