It's pretty funny that they didn't even <pre> any of that stuff up, so that a lot of the hearts look more like poos.

1. Replace every < with &lt;
2. Enclose everything in <pre> not <tt>, that way you don't have to mess about with changing spaces into &nbsp
3. Put everything in one or two levels of <small> as this increases the perceived resolution and causes your thing not to overwhelm the whole screen
