HTML: Inserting computer code into HTML
If you have a programming tutorial blog or write articles, then you'll need to demonstrate your code. Every lesson on Code Basics has these blocks:
<p>You can see the markup here</p>To create a block of code, use the tag <code>, and you can write code in any language there.
// Example code in JavaScript
const square = (num) => {
return num * num;
};The <code> tag is often used with the <pre> tag to preserve formatting. If the <pre> tag is not used, you have to control line breaks yourself, for example by wrapping each line with a <p> tag.
It's important that all tags inside <code> are be processed by the browser, which is why special characters are used inside. Also, a common solution is to wrap the name of the tag in a separate tag, such as <span>:
<code>
<<span>p</span>>Insert the p tag as plain text <<span>/p</span>>
</code>Instructions
Add any text to the <code> tag and paste it into the editor. Try different versions of the texts
If you've reached a deadlock it's time to ask your question in the «Discussions». How ask a question correctly:
- Be sure to attach the test output, without it it's almost impossible to figure out what went wrong, even if you show your code. It's complicated for developers to execute code in their heads, but having a mistake before their eyes most probably will be helpful.

Your exercise will be checked with these tests:
const { test } = require('tests');
test(({ query, expect }) => {
const code = query(document, 'code');
expect(code).to.be.visible;
});Teacher's solution will be available in:
