Quotations and Code
Inline quotations can be defined by using the <q> element

The <blockquote> element defines a long quotation which also creates a new block by inserting white space before and after the blockquote element.
To define a short inline computer code use the <code> element. For a larger code snippet use the <pre> element which defines preformatted text. It creates a new text block which preserves both spaces and line breaks.
pre { margin: 15px 0; padding: 10px; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap; }
Use the <small> element for side comments and small print.
