I’m trying to put some code in <code>, but have it also keep its format. I’ve googled and found someone recommending using <span>. Is there a better way of doing this without using <br>?
This is what I’m dealing with… https://codepen.io/aetones/pen/ExPYRXZ
You could try putting the code in a <textarea> element?
<pre><code>
// Code here
</code></pre>
Is how you should do it. The preformatted text tag (pre) is how you indicate that the text should be rendered as-is, retaining the formatting you want (you can also use CSS’ white-space rules if you’re doing something wierd, but 99.9% of the time, pre and code tags)
For inline code, just the code tags, for blocks of code, the pre and the code tags
Edit: also,
I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.
Please use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.
See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks are not single quotes.
