Code

Examples for displaying inline and multi-line blocks of code.

Inline

Wrap inline snippets of code with <code>. Be sure to escape HTML angle brackets.

For example, <section> should be wrapped as inline.

<p>For example, <code>&lt;section&gt;</code> should be wrapped as inline.</p>

Block

We use <pre> for multiple lines of code. Once again, be sure to escape any angle brackets in the code for proper rendering. You may optionally add the .-scrollable modifier, which will set a max-height and provide a y-axis scrollbar.


<p>Sample text here...</p>
<p>And another line of sample text here...</p>


<pre>
<code>
&lt;p&gt;Sample text here...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And another line of sample text here...&lt;/p&gt;
</code>
</pre>

Variables

For indicating variables use the HTML5 <var> tag.

y = mx + b
<var>y</var> = <var>m</var><var>x</var> + <var>b</var>

User Input

You can use the <kbd> to indicate input that is typically entered via keyboard.

To switch directories, type cd followed by the name of the directory.

To edit settings, press ctrl + ,

<p>To switch directories, type <kbd>cd</kbd> followed by the name of the directory.<br></p>
<p>To edit settings, press <kbd><kbd>ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>,</kbd></kbd></p>

Sample Output

You can use the <samp> for indicating sample output from a program.

This text is meant to be treated as sample output from a computer program.
