Useful? Yes. But then you need some way to provide the exact indentation/spacing in some cases. And the easiest is to provide them verbatim.

  HTML has the "pre" element that does this.

      "white-space:pre-line" in CSS should make it only break on hard enters. There are a bunch of values; see e.g. MDN. Can be used on any element of course, not just <pre>.
