Computer Code
When we write computer programs it becomes necessary to show the output to the user. The output could be the result or an error. HTML has elements that can be used to write codes on the web page.
For displaying messages connected to codes, the computer uses a particular formatting and text style. The < code> tag is used to display the website's computer code. HTML allows you to mark up computer code with a variety of elements.
Some notes about the < code > tag:
- It's primarily used to show a code snippet in a web browser.
- This tag sets its element to match the default text format on the computer.
- For the < code > tags element content, web browsers employ a monospace font family by default.
