The OCC module is from the original _Project_Oberon_ book. I want to 
preserve the appearance in the PDF reasonably closely. 
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon/V2

I'd be happy to use monospace for code I've written.

The whole source is enclosed with these tags. 
<pre><span 
style="font-family: Oberon, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.80rem; 
font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; color: #000000; 
position: relative; top: 0%"> ... </span></pre>

The <pre> tag comes from the blank beginning each line in the markup.  

Now I remember choosing the font-family for similarity to the font in 
ETH Oberon.  The font in the sources in _Project_Oberon_ is serif.  In 
Linux Firefox, DejaVu serif should work.  A serif variable pitch font 
available in all familiar browsers would be ideal but I have no idea of 
serif fonts in browsers in MacOS and MS Windows.  Suggestions?

Thanks,                       ... P. L.
