code
Definition and Usage
The <code> tag is a phrase tag. The HTML<code> tag is used for indicating a piece of code. The code tag surrounds the code being marked up. The HTML <code> element represents a fragment of computer code. By default, it is displayed in the browser's default monospace font.
The code being marked up could represent an XML element name, a filename, a computer program, or any other string that a computer would recognize.
Browsers often display text surrounded by <code> tags in a monospaced font (also called a fixed-width or non-proportional font) such as Courier.
Multiple lines of code can be marked up by surrounding the <code> tags with <pre> tags.
