A bug? I ran your code. Towards the end of the paragraph, the breakline gave wrong results (the words was and served were broken up when they shouldn't have been):
Suppose you run a Web site that includes a banner<br /><br />advertise
+ment service. You contract with companies<br /><br />that want their
+ads displayed when poeple visit<br /><br />the pages on your site. Ea
+ch time a visitor hits<br /><br />one of your pages, you serve an ad
+embedded in the<br /><br />page that is sent to the visitor's browser
+ and<br /><br />assess the company a small fee. To represent this<br
+/><br />information, you maintain three tables. One table,<br /><br /
+>company, has columns for company name, number,<br /><br />address, a
+nd telephone number. Another table, ad<br /><br />lists ad numbers, t
+he number for the company that<br /><br />owns the ad, and the amount
+ you charge per hit.<br /><br />The third table, hit, logs each ad hi
+t by number<br /><br />and the date on which the ad was<br /><br />se
+rved.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
