Bootstrap Code

In bootstrap, we can use a different type of HTML elements such as <code>, <kbd>, <pre>, <var> etc., to change the style of inline and multiline code blocks depending on how you want to represent the code blocks.

Bootstrap Inline Code (<code>) Tag

In bootstrap, we can use <code> element to wrap the inline snippets of code like as shown below.

 

Live Preview <div class="container">
   <p>Hi, Welcome to <code>Tutlane.com</code></p>
   <p>One <code>stop</code> solution for all <code>learning</code> needs.</p>
</div>

If you observe the above code, we wrapped inline snippets of code with <code> element based on our requirements.

 

The above example will return the result as shown below.

While using <code> element to wrap inline snippets code, you need to make sure to escape HTML angle brackets as shown below.

 

<div class="container">
    <p>Hi, Welcome to <code>Tutlane.com</code></p>
    <p>You can use <code>&lt;meta&gt;</code> tag for SEO purposes.</p>
</div>

The above code will return the result as shown below.

Bootstrap Code Block (<pre>) Tag

To wrap multiple lines of code, use <pre> element in bootstrap. To render code block properly, you need to escape HTML angle brackets the same like <code> element.

 

Live Preview <div class="container">
   <pre>
     Hi,
     Welcome to Tutlane.com
     This is example code block.</p>
   </pre>
</div>

If you observe the above example, we wrapped multiple lines of code using <pre> element.

 

The above example will return the result as shown below.

Bootstrap Variables (<var>) Tag

In bootstrap, to indicate the variables in your code, use <var> tag. The <var> tag will render the content in italic font.

</div>

The above example will return the result as shown below.

 

x + y + z = 20

In bootstrap, to indicate the sample output from a program using <samp> tag as shown below.

 

<div class="container">
   <samp>This is a simple sample text with Bootstrap!</samp>
</div>

The above example will return the result as shown below.
