I don't know what program you're using for your CGI stuff, but
basically all that is needed is the '<pre></pre>' tags. Here is an
example which uses PHP to call the system 'calendar' command:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Modulore Training Media</title>
<body>
<p>
Hello world. Calling UNIX calendar program via PHP:
<p>
<pre>
<?php
system("calendar -f calendar.history");
?>
</pre>
</body>
</html>
