How to display verbatim code in R shiny?

I'm currently using helpText in my ui.R file to display some static code content. However, because the output is not fixed width, the code looks like a mess. So how to display verbatim code; fixed width so it's easy to read?

I believe this is highly related to a related Shiny question about rendering multiple lines of text at once:

Outputting multiple lines of text with renderText() in R shiny

At least, the main answer there is one way to solve this problem.

I'm not sure I understand the problem, but the first solution would be renderVerbatim. If that doesn't cut it, you could look at ShinyAce, though that may be overkill for what you need; if does have nice features like syntax highlighting for R, though.
