Previously, the indentation of code snippets in the "Cheat sheet" guide was done using `<br>` elements (for line breaks) and ` ` HTML entities (for space). This was laborious and put the onus on the author to remember to use these symbols (instead of regular whitespace characters). (Discussed in https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/41051#discussion_r585651621.) This commit changes the way `<code>` elements are styles inside the "Cheat sheet" guide to allow using regular whitespace characters in code snippets. It also changes all `<br>`/` ` occurrences to `\n`/` ` respectively to make code snippets more readable in the source code. PR Close #41051

| @Pipe({...})
class MyPipe() {}
 | Declares that a class is a pipe and provides metadata about the pipe. | 
| @Injectable()
class MyService() {}
 | Declares that a class can be provided and injected by other classes. Without this decorator, the compiler won't generate enough metadata to allow the class to be created properly when it's injected somewhere. | 
| Directive configuration |

| ngOnInit() { ... } | Called after the constructor, initializing input properties, and the first call to  |
