Here are the various style tags I just discussed. This page is intended to show you how each tag is rendered in your browser, and how whitespace is handled.

Code

This text is contained in the CODE container, which is used to define fragments of code. The source HTML has a line break between this sentence and the previous one, but not a line-break tag. Similarly, there are five spaces before this sentence.

Keyboard

This text is contained in the KBD container, which is used to define examples of user input. The source HTML has a line break between this sentence and the previous one, but not a line-break tag. Similarly, there are five spaces before this sentence.

Sample

This text is contained in the SAMP container, which is used to define a literal character sequence. The source HTML has a line break between this sentence and the previous one, but not a line-break tag. Similarly, there are five spaces before this sentence.

Variable

The following is contained in a variable container: getID. It may look like another style, such as italics, but it is assuredly using the VAR tag.
