I don't think it can be done.  The broswer treats text inside 
an alt="......" as ordinary text for typesetting i.e. (CR)s
are stripped out from the input, and places it in 
one long horizontal box.  <pre>...<\pre> has no effect
on this process.

Logically you would hope there is something like "\n" for
inserting end-of-line into a string.  If there is,
then it's not "\n".   Try alt.html !!!
