Code

Styles for inline code snippets and longer, multiline blocks of code.

Inline code

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

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

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

Code blocks

Use <pre>s 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 .pre-scrollable class, which will set a max-height of 350px 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 <var> tag.

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

User input

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 + ,

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

Sample output

For indicating sample output from a program use the samp tag.
