Computer Code Elements in HTML with Examples
Please read our previous article where we discussed Entities in HTML with Examples. At the
end of this article, you will learn everything about HTML Computer Code Elements with
Examples.Computer Code Elements in HTML
Sometimes it is necessary to display code while developing a website. If we consider text
formatting to match the code’s presentation, this could be a time-consuming process.
part to the user on a webpage. In order to solve this issue, HTML uses different tags for the user
inputs, codes, programs, etc. With the help of these tags, we will be able to write codes to display
on our webpage. Following is the list of tags or computer codes that are used in HTML for this
task.
In an HTML document, computer codes are displayed in a different text style and formatting.
HTML has a number of elements for displaying computer code. The most commonly used
element is the <code> tag. Computer codes are useful in providing output results, error
messages, or coding parts to users on a webpage. For better understanding, please have a look at
the below image.HTML <kbd> For Keyboard Input
The HTML <kbd> tag describes the text as user input from a keyboard, such as the Enter or Ctrl
keys. Browsers typically display the text enclosed within the <kbd> tag in the default monospace
font. This tag is also known as the <kbd> element. For better understanding, please have a look
at the below example code.<p>Press <kbd>Enter</kbd> to continue</p>
<p>Press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>S</kbd> to Save</p>
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <h2>The Kbd Element</h2> <p>Press <kbd>Enter</kbd>
to continue</p> <p>Press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>S</kbd> to Save</p> </body> </html>
<html>
<body><h2>The Kbd Element</h2>
<p>Press <kbd>Enter</kbd> to continue</p>
<p>Press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>S</kbd> to Save</p>
</html>HTML <samp> For Program Output
The sample element is used to specify the sample output for a particular program on the screen.
In the example below we have shown the sum of two numbers as output.<h2>The samp Element</h2>
<p>Message from my computer:</p>
<p><samp>File not found.<br>Press F1 to continue</samp></p>
used to define sample output from a computer program.</p> <p>Message from my
computer:</p> <p><samp>File not found.<br>Press F1 to continue</samp></p> </body>
</html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>The samp Element</h2><p>Message from my computer:</p>
<p><samp>File not found.<br>Press F1 to continue</samp></p>
</html>
HTML <code> For Computer Code
content written between the code tag will be displayed in default monospace font.
code element outside the pre-tag is not. Because the pre-tag inserts line breaks and space into
each line to format the text. In the example below we have used the <code> element to insert
code into the webpage.<h2>The code Element inside pre tag</h2>
<h2>The code Element without pre tag</h2>
#include<stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello Learners"); } </code> </pre> <h2>The code
Element without pre tag</h2> <code> #include<stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello Learners");
} </code> </body> </html>
<html>
<body><h2>The code Element inside pre tag</h2>
<code>
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello Learners");
}
</code>
</pre><h2>The code Element without pre tag</h2>
<code>
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello Learners");
}
</code>
</html>
HTML <var> For Variables
inside a var element is italicized. Var elements are normally used in a mathematical expression.
In the example below we have used var elements to define variables in mathematical
expressions.
and <var>l</var> is the length.</p><var>x</var> = <var>y</var> + 2 </p>
<<var>l</var> x <var>b</var>, where <var>b</var> is the base, and <var>l</var> is the
length.</p> <p>A simple equation: <var>x</var> = <var>y</var> + 2 </p> </body> </html>
<html>
<body><h2>The var Element</h2>
and <var>l</var> is the length.</p><p>A simple equation:
<var>x</var> = <var>y</var> + 2 </p>
</html>
HTML <pre> element
width font. It keeps the content in its original format and ignores all formatting. For better
understanding, please have a look at the below example.<h3>Example of pre tag</h3>
within pre tag, and pre tag will ignore all
spaces, break lines, and will display the content
written within pre tag, and pre tag will ignore all spaces, break lines, and will display the content
as in original format. </pre> </body> </html>
<html>
<body>
<h3>Example of pre tag</h3>
<pre>
This is content written
within pre tag, and pre tag will ignore all
spaces, break lines, and will display the content
as in original format.
</pre>
</body>
