CODE - Computer Code
The CODE element denotes computer
code. Visual browsers typically render CODE
as monospaced text, but authors can suggest a rendering
using style sheets. Since CODE is a
structural element, it carries meaning, making
it preferable to font style elements such as TT
when marking up computer code.
Since spacing is often important when presenting
computer code, the PRE element can be
useful as a container for CODE elements.
When used within other containers, a CODE
element has multiple spaces collapsed. The following
example uses CODE within PRE:
<PRE><CODE>
class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}
</CODE></PRE>
