Inline code

Wrap inline snippets of code with <code>. Be sure to escape HTML angle brackets.

{% capture example %}
For example, <section> should be wrapped as inline.
{% endcapture %}
{% include example.html content=example %}

Code blocks

Use <pre>s for multiple lines of code. Once again, be sure to escape any angle brackets in the code for proper rendering. You may optionally add the .pre-scrollable class, which will set a max-height of 340px and provide a y-axis scrollbar.

{% capture example %}

<p>Sample text here...</p>
<p>And another line of sample text here...</p>

Variables

For indicating variables use the <var> tag.

{% capture example %}
y = mx + b
{% endcapture %}
{% include example.html content=example %}

User input

Use the <kbd> to indicate input that is typically entered via keyboard.

{% capture example %}
To switch directories, type cd followed by the name of the directory.

To edit settings, press ctrl + ,
{% endcapture %}
{% include example.html content=example %}

Sample output

For indicating sample output from a program use the <samp> tag.

{% capture example %}
This text is meant to be treated as sample output from a computer program.
{% endcapture %}
{% include example.html content=example %}
