The block variant of the code element

On this page:

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.
