![]()
The <XMP> element can be used to presents blocks of text
in fixed-width font, and so is suitable for text that has been
formatted on screen. As such, it is similar to the <PRE> and <LISTING>
elements, but has a different syntax. Typically, it will render
as fixed width font with white space separating it from other
text. It should be rendered such that 80 characters fit on the
line.
Example : The <XMP>Netscape Navigator</XMP> doesn't
support coloured tables.
The Internet Explorer will translate any special characters
included within <XMP> elements. I.e. if characters such as
<, > etc. are used, they will be translated to <
and >. Netscape and Mosaic treat the text contained within the
elements literally. <XMP> can also take the CLASS, ID and
STYLE attributes to allow style sheet definitions to be applied
to it. For more details of these attributes, refer to the Style Sheets topic.
