Details:

In the CLI version of Octave, typing 'news', brings up the NEWS file which is
now wrapped in


<pre> ... </pre>


tags.  This isn't horrible.  Still, it might be better to leave NEWS as a
plain text file and wrap the pre tags around the text in news in the GUI.  I
presume the GUI reads the file in as a string so it would be too hard to
prepend, append the tags and then pass that text to the HTML viewer.
