<CODE>

The CODE tag is used to define a fragment of computer code which is rendered in a fixed-width (mono-spaced) font for easy reading.

You should not use this tag when creating multiple lines of code since the carriage return is not rendered as a line-break in the web page. You can use the preformatted text tag (PRE) instead.
