How do I use indentation in a <code> tag?

Question

I have a code tag with some computer code:

<code>
    int main(){  <br/ >
        printf("Hello World!");<br/ >
    }
</code>

But when I display it in the browser, there will be no indentation. How can I do this, besides using  ? Writing them would be a very tedious job.

Answer 1

<code>
    <pre>
        int main(){  
            printf("Hello World!");
        }
    </pre>
</code>

You can use the "pre" tag, which defines preformatted text. Text in a "pre" element is displayed in a fixed-width font (usually Courier), and it preserves both spaces and line breaks. It is used when displaying text with unusual formatting, or some sort of computer code. And you will not need additional "br" tags.

Your code should look like the above one.
