I’m including code snippets in this post:

I can’t apply CSS formatting to pre (or it isn’t working for some reason) so I tried putting a div with a class within the pre. That changed the pre text from Courier or whatever it is to the font I’m using for my p tags, but still didn’t pick up any of the formatting from the div class.

From my post:

<pre><div class=“coded”>
  #
  # Alias: Maps web paths into filesystem paths and is used to
  # access content that does not live under the DocumentRoot.
  # Example:
  # Alias /webpath /full/filesystem/path
  #
  # If you include a trailing / on /webpath then the server will
  # require it to be present in the URL.  You will also likely
  # need to provide a <Directory> section to allow access to
  # the filesystem path.
<div></pre>

My CSS:

div.coded {
    font-size: 0.8em;
    font-family: “Courier New”, Courier, monospace;
    color: #8E8F0D;
    background-color: transparent;
  border: 1px solid #006;
}

What am I doing wrong?

try

pre div.coded {
yourstyle: here;
}
