TAG:  code
<code> ... </code>
 
The code tag is designed to display computer code in a special font, usually in a mono spaced font style. However, the exact appearance will be browser dependent. You may still need to use various HTML tags, such as br and p, to create a presentation and appearance to suit your needs.
 
An HTML code example cannot use the HTML delimiters < and >, because they will be executed by the browser as real HTML code. Rather you must substitute a &lt; for the < and a &gt; for the >.
 
Usually, the display font appearance for the code, kbd, samp, and tt tags is the same for a specific browser.
 
The pre tag is more commonly used to display code.
 
The separate closing tag is mandatory.
