The
code element is intended for general instances of code as found in works of fiction and similar non-technical documents, which
includes computer programming code, commands and command input/output as well as representations of numeric and text coding
systems, such as Morse code.
For computer programming books, manuals and specifications, specializing the
code element or using a computer markup feature is recommended.
Usage Example
Most programming books start with a simple <code>helloWorld()</code> example.
