HTML Computercode Tutorial
We will cover the basics of how to display computer code on a webpage using HTML. Displaying code on a webpage can be useful for tutorials, documentation, or sharing snippets of code with others.
One way to display computer code on a webpage is by using the <pre>
tag along with the <code>
tag. The <pre>
tag is used to preserve spacing and line breaks in the text, while the <code>
tag is used to indicate that the text is computer code.
Let's look at an example of how to display a simple JavaScript function using the <pre>
and <code>
tags:
function greet() {
console.log("Hello, world!");
}
In the example above, we used the <pre>
and <code>
tags to display a JavaScript function that logs "Hello, world!" to the console. The <pre>
tag preserves the line breaks, while the <code>
tag indicates that the text is code.
If you have a longer snippet of code that spans multiple lines, you can also use the <pre>
and <code>
tags to display it. Here's an example of a longer HTML snippet:
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello, World!</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
</body>
</html>
In this example, we used the <pre>
and <code>
tags to display an HTML snippet that defines a basic webpage with a title and a heading. The <pre>
tag preserves the line breaks, and the <code>
tag indicates that the text is code.
Overall, using the <pre>
and <code>
tags is a simple and effective way to display computer code on a webpage. Feel free to experiment with different coding languages and snippets to enhance your web content!
