`<codeblock>`

A code block is a set of lines from a program.

Rendering expectations

Processors SHOULD preserve line the breaks and spaces that are present in the content of a <codeblock> element.

The content of the <codeblock> element is typically rendered in a monospaced font.

The <codeblock> element is specialized from <pre>. It is defined in the programming domain module.

The following attributes are available on this element: display attributes, universal attributes, and @xml:space.

The following code sample shows how the <codeblock> element can be used to tag an excerpt from the code for a program:

<codeblock>
/* a long sample program */
Do forever
  Say "Hello, World"
End
</codeblock>
