Code element in html

What is Code?

The <code> element in HTML is used to define a fragment of computer code.

It is typically used to display code snippets within a webpage, and it helps to distinguish code from other text content.

Here is an example of how the <code> element can be used:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Code Element Example</title>
</head>
<body>
    <p>Here is a code snippet:</p>
    <pre><code>
        function greet() {
            console.log("Hello, world!");
        }
    </code></pre>
</body>
</html>

In this example:

  • The <pre> element is often used in conjunction with <code> to preserve the formatting of the code (such as indentation and line breaks).
  • The <code> element itself is used to enclose the code snippet.


When displayed in a browser, the text inside the <code> element will typically be rendered in a monospace font, which is commonly used for displaying code.
